[FR] "Culminant à 731m en limite Sud-Est de la Haute-Vienne, le Mont Gargan offre aux visiteurs ses richesses naturelles, culturelles et historiques : landes à bruyères, tourbière, allée de hêtres centenaires ou vestiges religieux du XIXème siècle sont à voir aux détours d’un sentier de découverte : les vestiges de la chapelle Notre Dame de Bon Secours, la fontaine à dévotions, la pierre de mémoire commémorant les actes de la Résistance.

Le Mont Gargan a fait l’objet d’un classement national au titre des monuments naturels et des sites. Il constitue également un site d’intérêt paysager du Parc Naturel Régional de Millevaches en Limousin.

Site emblématique de l’engagement contre l’occupant nazi, le vent qui serpente entre les pierres susurre encore le « Chant des Partisans »"

[EN] "Rising to an altitude of 731m on the southeastern edge of Haute-Vienne, Mont Gargan offers visitors its natural, cultural, and historical treasures: heather moors, a peat bog, an avenue of centuries-old beech trees, and 19th-century religious remains can be seen along a discovery trail: the remains of the Notre Dame de Bon Secours chapel, the devotional fountain, and the memorial stone commemorating the acts of the Resistance.

Mont Gargan has been nationally classified as a natural monument and site. It is also a site of scenic interest in the Millevaches Regional Natural Park in Limousin.

An emblematic site of the fight against the Nazi occupiers, the wind winding between the stones still whispers the "Song of the Partisans.""
