We can see from here the Milky Way, a rare chance !

As such, the Millevaches regional park in the Limousin gained on the 30th of November 2020, the International starry sky reserve (RICE) label given by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). In France, only three other territories are involved.

Some measures are planned, wth the aim to preserve, (re)discover and amplify our “night” ressources, including in the tourism sector.

Our activity is based on natural tourism, the peace and the freshness of this preserved space.

Soon, sky observatory sites called “under the star” will emerge to guarantee the best possible experience of sky observation.

Nocturnal ambiance enthusiasts, do not hesitate to share this celestial information.
