Explore Collonges-la-rouge with Domaine du Coq Rouge SAS

Covered with magnificent castles, Collonges-la-Rouge also reveals itself through its small heritage. The inhabitants of Collonges had to show ingenuity to tame the water which was very rare. During the tour, you will discover the Bassignac washhouse, which had the particularity of not freezing in winter, or the aqueduct, near Beauregard, made of a single block of red sandstone.

During the Middle Ages, the Limousin, a land of saints, saw a growth in the number of pilgrimages in the region and the veneration of relics housed in abbeys and priories built by monks. The area was strongly influenced, especially in the 12C, by the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela. A new path heading towards Santiago de Compostela, the Voie de Rocamadour en Limousin et Haut Quercy, has just been waymarked from Bénévent-l’Abbaye to Rocamadour passing through Eymoutiers, Tulle and Collonges-la-Rouge. To find out more about this Way of St James, a GUIDE PRATIQUE is on sale online at www.un-chemin-de-st-jacques.net as well as in bookshops, sports shops and stores including Cultura, Fnac etc.

A colorful and surprising ride awaits you on this 14 km 500 circuit. The route is not at all difficult, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. The starting point of the tour is Collonge-la-Rouge, where the festivities begin? This fortified town will surprise you with its colors, which over the years have never ceased to charm its many visitors.... Two colors stand out from the rest: red and green. Green for the verdant setting that surrounds the town and for the vegetation that hugs the walls of the buildings: chestnut trees, vines? Red for the color of the dwellings and buildings constructed from red sandstone quarried from the Puy de Valège, 450 m from the village. Colors are everywhere, but don't be put off by the architecture. Aptly nicknamed ?la c

Red...will be the colour that will accompany you throughout this walk. Red...like the Permian sandstone of the stones used to build the houses of the villages of Collonges-la-Rouge, Meyssac and Lagleygeolle...Red...like the earth that covers the paths that lead through the mountains and valleys. Red...like the famous devil's chair where legend has it that the devil sat in person... Yellow markings.

Following paths lined with walnut trees, this walk starts in Saillac, a village with a lot of character, with its walnut oil press and the work of the blacksmith. It will then take you to the heights of Ligneyrac where the view extends from Turenne to the Monts d'Auvergne, in the distance behind Meyssac, then to the foot of the château de La Rue, an imposing residence with its four turrets. The walk continues along a small path full of charm, perched on the ridges. A short stop at the village of La Bertine and the arrival is in sight.

The Meyssac fault is a spectacular sign of the junction of the last sandstone foothills of the Massif Central and the limestone sediments deposited a few million years later. It also marks a clear break in terms of landscape, vegetation, land use and agricultural practices. This is what we propose to show you through the nine educational stations.

Collonges-la-Rouge offers an original and unusual sight, as much for the flamboyance of its stones as for the richness of its heritage. The red of the sandstone and the ochre-colored slate, the blue-gray of the slate and the green of the vines clinging to the walls form the palette of this dreamy little town. From the 16th century onwards, Collonges became the residence of the officials of the Viscounty of Turenne and the jurists of the châtellenie, hence the presence of numerous castels and pepper-pot towers. In the 19th century, as the town fell into a state of lethargy, the mayor of the time, Charles Ceyrac, launched the idea of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France", with Collonges being the first village to be awarded the label! Your visit will be punctuated by the discovery of the 11th-century church fortified during the Wars of Religion, the 13th-century chapel of the Penitents
