Cornil

Between Tulle and Brive-la-Gaillarde, Cornil spreads its green wooded hills on either side of the Corrèze river. Built on a prehistoric site, an active center in the Middle Ages (it was minted under the Merovingians), besieged during the Wars of Religion and then a land of Resistance, Cornil has seen centuries of history. Today, two vestiges of this rich past remain, balanced on a rocky escarpment: the Romanesque church and the castle keep, which stand like sentinels over the Corrèze valley.
