Corrèze offers visitors a rural retreat and the chance to enjoy some splendid, unspoilt countryside
Why you should visit Corrèze for your next holiday in France

Whether visiting with friends or family, the Corrèze is bursting with ideas for short escapes and fabulous long holidays! There is a very diverse range of scenery here, from the mysterious atmosphere of the Plateau de Millevaches moors to the gentle pace of life in the Brive region, from the sometimes wild gorges of the Dordogne to the green valleys of the Vézère and Auvézère rivers and the forests of the Tulle region.

To the east, towards the Massif Central, the landscape becomes wilder and mountainous - ideal for dairy and sheep farming. Here, you will find isolated hamlets and farms. In the southeast the countryside is more accessible and there are some noteworthy Romanesque churches.

Visitors to Corrèze will find an exceptional heritage of châteaux, fortresses, churches and villages. Historic sites, museums and exhibitions offer year round visits and events. One of the main local events is ‘Fête de la Pomme” which takes place in October and brings about a colourful cornucopia of displays, tastings and sales all over the department.

The cuisine of the Corrèze conveys the full flavour of the land,”Hearty and refined, and based on traditions handed down from generation to generation”.

Several of the most beautiful villages in France are to be found in the department of Corrèze.
Tulle, the capital of the Corrèze, is constructed on seven hills and on the banks of the river of the same name. It was built around a 7th century monastery and gave its name to the lovely tulle cloth, which is a fine mesh netting, generally made from silk, nylon, or rayon and first manufactured in the town. An annual Accordion Festival in the third week of September is held in Tulle and features a fireworks display on the Friday and Saturday evenings.

Collonges-la-Rouge is named after the rich red sandstone of its blue shuttered buildings, it also boasts an attractive Romanesque church.


Ségur le Château is a pretty medieval village with its half timbered houses and a ruined 12th century fortress towering above it. Saint Robert is another remarkably well preserved medieval town, charming little streets and shops survive alongside a Romanesque church and a fountain reputed to hold magical qualities.


At Pompadour is the National Stud with its race track in front of the elegant Château. Events include show jumping, driving, racing and, on the last weekend of each month from June to September, steeple-chasing. There are many equestrian activities for horse lovers from hacking to trekking and riding schools.

For information on horse riding/trekking contact the Comité Départmental de Tourisme Equestre, they offer 16 riding centres where you may go on walks, treks, carriage rides, ponies, trips for both children and adults alike.

The Corrèze has more than 40 man made lakes, 6 of which have a surface area of more than 100 hectares, and 4 water-sports centres which can be found in Argentat, Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, Objat and Tulle. In the Corrèze, holidaymakers are spoilt for choice with a wide range of activities available, such as swimming, sailing, windsurfing, speed boating, water-skiing, jet skiing and rowing.

The Arnac-Pompadour / Troche area

At Pompadour is the National Stud with its race track in front of the elegant Château. Events include show jumping, driving, racing and, on the last weekend of each month from June to September, steeple-chasing. There are many equestrian activities for horse lovers from hacking to trekking and riding schools.

The small town of Arnac-Pompadour is just 3 miles away. Here you will find all you could need including supermarkets, butchers, chemists, bakers, restaurants, cafes, tourist information office and a local market. There are additional restaurants, bars, tourist information offices and markets at nearby Ségur Le Château (4 miles) and Lubersac (3.5 miles).

A haven for wildlife lovers, you need not stray further than the garden to observe the red squirrels, red kites, herons, deer, buzzards, woodpeckers, hen harriers and migrating cranes. With many nearby footpaths and bridleways, you are free to explore on foot, bicycle or horse, and if the local walks leave you refreshed and wanting more, the region boasts many activities and festivals to satisfy the most adventurous of visitors.

Perhaps a gentle stroll in the forest looking for mushrooms, a train ride along the Gorges de la Vézère, or a day's fishing or gold-panning at one of the local lakes or rivers (nearest is a 5-minute walk) will satisfy the need to get out and about, but don't forget to stop off for a coffee at a local bar.

Should you seek a little more excitement, why not try a flight in a hot air balloon - perhaps you'll get a bird's eye view of Le Roc. We may even be able to arrange for you to be picked up by balloon from Le Roc itself. Alternatively, you can always place your bets at the races (incl dressage, flat & steeplechase races May to September), or if gambling's not your style, spend an afternoon wandering around one of France's National Studs, created by Louis XV and famous for the breeding of Anglo-Arab horses since 1761, at Arnac-Pompadour. You will also find tennis, swimming, and horseriding nearby. Within 20 minutes by car, you could be climbing, rafting or kayaking - the choice is endless.

For a bit of culture and history, you can follow the Richard The Lionheart trail, visiting any number of beautiful castles and ancient villages, all on your own doorstep. Pompadour Château itself was presented in 1745 by Louis XV to his mistress, Madame de Pompadour. Throughout the year, there are local village festivals where you can immerse yourself in the French way of life - try the 'raspberry' festival or flower show at Concèze or the accordian festival at Tulle. In addition to the medieval village of Ségur Le Château, you will find another two of France's 'plus beaux villages' - St Robert and Turenne. The city of Limoges, famous for its porcelain, offers further interest with its art galleries, museums and gardens. Alternatively, you can take a leisurely drive along the nut or apple route, tasting and exploring along the way or go down to Brive-La-Gaillarde for a round of golf or to watch their famous rugby team at work.

Within 90 minutes you could be in the popular market town of Sarlat-La-Caneda, the historic red-stoned village of Collonges-La-Rouge, or the hilltop pilgrim village of Rocamadour. Further affield, yet still within 2 hours, you could be skiing down the Auvergne volcanoes.

At Le Roc you will find yourself in a very fortunate location for exploring the many delights of hidden rural France.
