Correze tourist information

where to go - what to see - what to do

Correze offers visitors a rural retreat and the chance to enjoy some splendid, unspoilt countryside. There are over 5000 kms of rivers (the Vergeze, the Correze and the Dordogne) plus over 40 lakes.

This will suit those in search of outdoor pursuits such as fishing, walking, canoeing etc.

To the east, towards the Massif Central, the landscape becomes wilder and mountainous - ideal for dairy and sheep farming. Here, you'll find isolated hamlets and farms.

In the southeast the countryside is more accessible and there are some noteworthy Romanesque churches.
