Covering an area of 3,143 km2, making it the sixth largest PNR by area, the park is organized around the Millevaches plateau , a vast Hercynian granite complex on the western outskirts of the Massif Central. and 1,000 meters above sea level and several plateaus and small peripheral massifs. The territory concerned is representative of a diversity of humid ocean-front landscapes (moors, peat bogs, wooded areas and agricultural grasslands).
