Pierre Buffière – a charming Limousin town
The little town of Pierre Buffière is located in the green and rural department of the Haute-Vienne in the Limousin region of central France. It is a charming town which is typical of its region, situated beside a pretty little river, the River Briance. And with lots of trees adding interest and welcome shade, the white houses with their grey slate rooftops look fresh and cool in the summer sunshine, the whole presenting a very enticing picture.

A town of historical interest
There is a very lovely old 11th century church and abbey in Pierre Buffière, and quite a history to this and to many of the buildings in the town. The Tourist Office can point you in the right direction for a discovery tour of the town and the surrounding area.

Unspoiled
Although Pierre Buffière is primarily known for its popularity with tourists, the little town remains quite unspoiled, and seems not to notice the hordes of campers and walkers who flock to enjoy its charms every summer. The upside of its popularity is, of course, that the town has learned to provide all shops and services to keep its visitors happy, and therefore residents benefit too! As well as shops, there are a number of good restaurants and cafés, so it is easy to relax and enjoy life in Pierre Buffière.
