You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[image:Eoliennes peyrelevade.jpg|right|thumb|220px|Plateau de Millevaches]]
The '''Plateau de Millevaches''' (((IPA-fr|plato də milvaʃ)); ((lang-oc|Replanat de Miuvachas))) is an upland area in [[Limousin]] a former [[regions of France|administrative region]] of France. It covers approximately 3,500&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> and crosses the boundaries of three French [[Departments of France|department]]s: [[Corrèze]], [[Creuse]], and [[Haute-Vienne]].

The majority of the area is at an altitude of between 600 m and 1000 m.

== Structure and geology ==
Although commonly referred to as a plateau, the Millevaches Massif is actually more like a shallow dome, deeply dissected by streams and rivers, and slightly tilted, with the south-eastern edge elevated and more exposed. This is the visible remnant of a [[laccolith]], a large lens-shaped mass of [[granite]], believed to be the result of an intrusion of igneous material in the late Hercynian or [[Variscan orogeny]].<ref>Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France; May 2004; v. 175; no. 3; p. 239-248; ((doi|10.2113/175.3.239))</ref> As the surrounding, softer material has weathered away, the laccolith has become increasingly exposed.

Although not strictly a [[plateau]], depending upon which direction one approaches the area from, the Plateau de Millevaches forms an important kind of step up (or a step down) in the [[Massif Central]]. There are a number of definite peaks, the highest being Mont Bessou (976m.), at the southern edge of the massif, near Meymac.

== Character and features ==
The massif is generally densely wooded, with large areas of both [[coniferous forest]] and mixed woodland. Among the [[broadleaf tree]]s, [[birch]] and [[beech]] predominate, and many roads are lined with beeches. The highest part of the massif, bounded roughly by the villages of [[Rempnat]], [[Peyrelevade]], [[Millevaches]] and [[Saint-Merd-les-Oussines]], is the most densely wooded, with little agriculture or even stock-rearing intruding among the forests. Elsewhere, there is a patchwork of woods and meadows, with herds of Limousin cattle dotting the landscape, and a few fields of [[maize]] or [[rye]].

There is a distinctive type of bog or marsh (''tourbières'' in French) which gives rise to numerous rivers such as the [[Vienne (river)|Vienne]]. Many of these rivers are often filled with wild [[brown trout]]. The area around the village of Millevaches and the Signale d'Audouze (an outstanding peak) is part of an important watershed. The Vienne, which has its sources here, flows mainly northward, across central France, to feed the [[Loire]]. The [[Vézère]], which arises next to it, drains south into the [[Dordogne (river)|Dordogne]], sending its water to the Atlantic via the [[Gironde estuary]].

Many of the rivers have been dammed to create large lakes. The largest of all is the [[Lac de Vassivière]], the result of damming the [[Maulde (river)|Maulde]]. The nearby Lac de la Vaud-Gelade is fed by the [[Taurion]]. The Vézère feeds two large lakes at [[Viam]] and [[Treignac]]. All of these provide both drinking water and [[hydroelectricity]]. They are also home to major leisure attractions, being lined with beaches, sailing schools, marinas, camp sites and picnic areas.

There are very few towns or villages of any size on the Plateau de Millevaches, but the towns of [[Meymac]], [[Felletin]], [[Ussel, Corrèze|Ussel]] and [[Eymoutiers]] are situated at the edges of the Plateau.
