Pleaux is a remarkable starting point to discover the Low-Limousin and the High-Auvergne. Following its soul one will launch in a hike on the crest of the Puys or else make quiet stroll in Corréze to discover pretty manors; to visit Salers, one of the most beautiful village of France or the fantastic Tours de Merle.
