Salviac

Here, we live outside, we talk to each other, we say hello. Salviac is the South-West that we all hope to return to one day. And that we discover a little by chance.

The spirit Village en Bouriane

A village who lives

In Salviac, village life is not just an image. It’s there, in the square, around the museum, in the clinking of glasses on the terrace. There’s a real local fabric, services, associations and a school. Nothing extraordinary, except perhaps this lively normality that feels good.

A heritage Which opens

Within the walls of the Agricultural Heritage and Automobile Museum, you can discover the tools, stories and gestures of yesteryear. A shared memory, without nostalgia. That’s what Salviac is all about: honouring the past while moving forward. The church, the old houses and the fountains tell a simple but deeply rooted story.

All around is the Bouriane in all its bounty. Forests, paths, viewpoints. Walkers, mountain bikers, trail runners and hikers will find a wide variety of quiet routes. Here, the landscapes are not revealed all at once. They reveal themselves little by little.

Other villages Same roots

At Dégagnac, the church and countryside speak of a bygone age. Marminiac combines tranquillity with rural heritage.

These are villages that live slowly, at their own pace, and that you often discover by falling in love with the first.
Salviac doesn’t try to seduce. It simply lives. And perhaps that’s why we keep coming back.
