The most beautiful villages of Corrèze
Nestled in the heart of France, Corrèze is renowned for the charm of its villages and the wealth of its unique heritage.
From Curemonte to Collonges-la-Rouge via Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, it has many listed sites, some of which have been awarded the label "most beautiful village in France".
We have selected a few must-see places to visit during your stay in Corrèze.
This small medieval village nestled in the south of Corrèze is built on a rocky spur.
Three sumptuous castles stand in the centre surrounded by a few noble houses. A little gem not to be missed, especially for its magnificent view of the Sourdoire valley.
Even if you can't visit the castles, explore the city and admire the churches, including a 12th-century Romanesque church.
If you have a little time, try the castle hike, which will also offer you superb viewpoints.
Located just 20 km from Brive-la-Gaillarde, this village is the most famous in the department for its flamboyant colour.
It is impossible to miss this town and its traditional houses made of red sandstone, rich in iron oxide. It is also here that the idea of the most beautiful village in France appeared in the 1980s.
Admire the many Renaissance castles and pepperpot towers, the 16th century market hall and the chapel of the Black Penitents.
Built on the right bank of the Dordogne, this medieval village is also nicknamed "the Limousin Riviera" for its mild climate and strawberry cultivation.
Stroll along the picturesque alleys and admire the Saint-Pierre abbey, whose portal is considered a true masterpiece, as is the Chapelle des Pénitents.
On the banks of the Auvézère, Ségur-le-château will amaze you with its old noble houses dominated by the remains of its fortress.
The medieval city, once the birthplace of the first Viscounts of Limoges, is renowned for the Saint Laurent Tower, the Watchtower and Henri IV, but also for the charm of its turrets, half-timbering and spiral staircases.
Richard the Lionheart is even said to have left his mark on the village's alleys.
On its limestone keep, Turenne is full of hidden treasures. Its slate roofs and sumptuous turrets make the place beautiful.
The village, steeped in history, owes its name to the powerful viscount who reigned over Limousin, Périgord and Quercy.
Discover the church and its gilded wooden altarpiece as well as its 16th and 17th century mansions.
From the top of the Donjon de la Tour César, the 360° panorama is breathtaking!
