The small lakeside town of Neuvic (population 1,800) is 624m above sea level and is bordered by forests. In the valley of the Triouzoune river, it has become an important tourist centre following the formation of the Lac de la Triouzoune.

There is a lively market as well as a good range of restaurants, bars and shops, including traditional boulangeries where bread is baked throughout the day, butchers, charcuteries and greengrocers, several small but well-stocked supermarkets, gift shops, a pharmacy and two newsagents which stock a wide selection of postcards, stationery, maps and books. You can even get English newspapers if you're feeling homesick!

Beside the lake, Neuvic-Plage offers a variety of watersports as well as golf, a family beach and a hôtel with a good view from the restaurant terrace.
