Mousta’chut: enlightened tours
To know a destination well is to know its people well. In Terres Gaillardes, we're lucky to have local people who are passionate about their history, their heritage, their village, their traditions and their know-how. And because they're so generous, they're keen to share all this knowledge on enlightened tours.
Since 2021, Brive Tourisme has wanted to put these enthusiasts in touch with visitors who want to find out more about our region. Together, they can talk, learn and discover information in a very friendly atmosphere.
This new concept of free tours led by real Gaillards can cover a range of topics: local flora and fauna, skills, small-scale heritage, etc.
