Saint Mathieu lies in picturesque countryside in the Haute-Vienne department of the Limousin, not far from the borders with the Dordogne and Poitou-Charentes.

Rural but supplying most needs

And during the summer months, night markets set up in the town, selling artisanal and local products. The lake, on the edge of the town, is a great attraction whatever your age and activity level, as you can swim, sail, fish or simply relax on the shores and top up your tan. An additional bonus is the lakeside bar/restaurant.
