Guéret, Prefecture and commune in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.

Guéret stands at 436 meters elevation in central France, positioned 73 kilometers northeast of Limoges at the intersection of major routes D942 and N145.

The settlement originated around a 7th-century abbey and later developed into the capital of the County of La Marche during the medieval period.

The Museum of Sénatorerie contains natural history collections and medieval enamels, while the Church of Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul dates from the 13th century.

The town maintains two colleges, nine schools, three high schools, and fifteen general practitioners, serving a population of 12,840 residents as of 2021.

The Chabrières forest includes a specialized zoo where wolves roam in large enclosures, offering visitors direct observation of these predators.
