Gold panning in Limousin

If you thought gold panning was solely the preserve of those living in southern America then a trip to France's Limousin region may be just what you need.

The area has become more popular in recent years with many investors buying Limousin property for sale thanks to bargain prices and untouched expanses of countryside.

The treasures of Saint Yrieix


But beyond all this lies another type of treasure which is celebrated annually in the pretty little town of Saint Yrieix.

Here, tourists or families who have bought Limousin property for sale can get classes on the best ways to pan for gold and learn more about the skills of the gold diggers of old.

You may be more likely to find your fortune by investing in French property but there is no harm in trying your luck in the town river which is a famous historic centre for gold panning.

Going for gold in Limousin


Until recently, the town of Saint Yrieix played host to the annual world gold panning competition and treasure hunters can still get involved, with a little bit of advice from the experts.
