Corrèze

The Corrèze River gave its name to this charming town and the department. A former fortified town with slate roofs, mentioned as early as the 9th century, it still has remains of ramparts that were last attacked in the 16th century. Entering through the iconic Porte Margot gate, you will discover noble mansions, fortified houses and watchtowers that bear witness to a rich past. Below, the Notre-Dame du Pont du Salut chapel, built on the banks of the Corrèze, offers a peaceful and remarkable place to visit. Corrèze charms visitors with its authenticity, its preserved heritage and its natural setting.
