Composed of restful and bucolic landscapes, ranging from the ponds and hedged farmland of Basse-Marche to the mounts Blond and Ambazac, through the Vienne valley, the Haute-Vienne is a great destination for relaxation and nature-based tourism. A considerable architectural and artistic heritage is also offered through its Romanesque religious buildings, its fortified castles, its medieval cities and its famous porcelain tradition.
