Mont Bessou

Mont Bessou reaches an elevation of 976 meters, featuring a metal observation tower that extends the total height to 1000 meters above sea level.

The mountain became a notable geographical marker when authorities constructed the observation tower to make it reach precisely 1000 meters for measurement purposes.

The summit serves as an educational center with informational panels explaining the geological formations and natural features of the Limousin region.

Visitors can access Mont Bessou via the D36 road, located 6 kilometers north of Meymac, with dedicated parking facilities at the base of the tower.

The mountain offers a 2.5-kilometer VTT descent trail with a 10 percent gradient, suitable for different skill levels of mountain biking enthusiasts.
