Visit the Château de Turenne
Located just 15 km from Brive-la-Gaillarde, Turenne Castle stands proudly on a rocky spur at an altitude of 350 metres.
This emblematic site of Corrèze, former Viscounty of Turenne, takes you back to the medieval era and offers a spectacular panorama of the surrounding causses.
If you are a history buff or looking for sumptuous landscapes, don't miss a visit to Turenne Castle.
Built in the 11th century by the Viscounts of Comborn, the castle was dismantled in the 18th century on the orders of Louis XV.
Today, only imposing remains remain that will take you back in time.
Admire the rectangular keep and the round tower, known as the Caesar Tower. You will be captivated by their architecture and history.
Discover an immersive journey through the castle, from the keep to the large vaulted rooms.
First, the Guard Room is decorated with a monumental fireplace and period furniture. The Treasure Room is a majestic room 10 meters high.
Also, don't miss climbing the spiral staircase of the Caesar Tower, which offers an exceptional viewpoint, all the way to the Cantal mountains on a clear day.
The hanging garden of the castle is a real oasis. Created in 1920 on the former site of the vines, it combines French gardens and English flowerbeds.
During your walk, you can admire the pines and cypresses that bring a southern touch.
The garden is also part of an ecological approach, because biodiversity is preserved there.
Every day, guided tours are organized for all ages.
In summer, the castle hosts the Musicales de Turenne, open-air concerts under the stars.
Dinners in the sky, meanwhile, allow you to enjoy refined gastronomy in an exceptional setting.
