Les MilleHaches, sport logging in Neuvic
Les MilleHaches is a sport logging competition conceived by the local club Cogneurs du Plateau de Millevaches, one of the most active clubs in this discipline in France. The event takes place in Neuvic, in Haute-Corrèze, in the heart of a territory largely covered by forests where wood sports find an ideal ground for expression.
The format is designed to be spectacular and accessible: around thirty lumberjacks and lumberjills compete in "Intervilles" type events (log races with a chainsaw in hand, climbing trunks to cut off the end, etc.), alongside more classic competitions bringing together the best French athletes. The event is accompanied by public entertainment: a wood trades fair, contests, merchant stalls, and on-site catering.
