Corrèze: what to see and do
32 sites listed in the département. A land of low mountains between the Limousin and the Périgord, the Corrèze cultivates an exceptional rural heritage around Collonges-la-Rouge and Turenne, among the most beautiful villages in France. Granite gorges, waterfalls and the Plateau de Millevaches offer a nature escape close at hand.
