Geography

Ambrugeat is located some 80 km south-east of Limoges and immediately to the west of Meymac. It can be accessed by the D76 road from Meymac which continues through the village then south-west to join the D16 north of Égletons. There is also the D123 minor road running north off the D76 passing through the western part of the commune. The D76E also runs off the D76 to the south-east to join the D36 road. The commune is largely forested with some farmland.[4]

The village lies on the north-western shore of the Lac de Sechemaille whose shores form the eastern border at this point. Several streams rise in the commune and flow into the lake such as the Ruisseau de la Nauche, the Ruisseau de Laubard, and the Ruisseau des Farges. Other streams flow south through the western part of the commune to form the Ruisseau de Sautere.[4]

• A Farmhouse (2) at Laubard (1811)[9]
• A Bread Oven at Laubard (19th century)[10]
• A Bread Oven at Lassagne (19th century)[11]

• A Farmhouse at Besse (1662)[15]

Other sites of interest

• A very old Stone Trough attached to the Chassagnac house at Beynat.[19] Marius Vazeilles, a local scholar, said that the washing-trough is very old.[20]
• In the same village, there are two other notable troughs. The second is located in the bread oven, a very old construction in the Madesclaire-Aumarchad house. The third is on the terrace of the Cheze Sailly Chassagnac families' house. This trough, in granite, has a diameter of 0.90 m and a height of 0.95 m round and is entirely hand carved. It is clearly a very old piece of undeniable archaeological value.
