Did you know ?

Marty is the little mascot of the Aubusson-Vassivière-Millevaches destination.
He’s a colorful, inquisitive, tender, poetic and humorous kingfisher who flies over our region between sky, land and water, sharing his views and his local attachment with you in our editions (magazine and tourist map).
Marty is also the hero of a range of souvenirs on sale in the region’s Tourist Offices and at the Boutique de l’Île.
He can be found in the form of magnets, kettledrums, key rings, caps, a line of clothes, coloring pages….

An ideal gift to give or to treat yourself.

How could you not succumb to its mad charm?
