Not forgetting the must-see sites in Corrèze, Lot and Dordogne
During your stay, we recommend you visit the Most Beautiful Villages in France in Corrèze: Turenne, Collonges-la-Rouge, Beaulieu-Sur-Dordogne, Curemonte and Saint-Robert.
- Turenne opens its doors to you with a guided tour of its history and daily life in the Middle Ages. The climb is a must! The view over the whole valley from its high castle is breathtaking.
- The village of Collonges-la-Rouge is an original and unusual sight. Take your time wandering through the narrow medieval streets and red stone houses, stopping to discover places of interest such as the Maison de la Sirène and the Chapelle des Pénitents Noirs.
- Another beautiful medieval village is Saint-Robert! You'll love its charm and character, and its beautiful 12th-century Romanesque church of Notre-Dame.
Finally, just 45 minutes from Les Collines, make plans to visit some of Europe's greatest chasms: the Gouffre de Padirac, the Montignac Lascaux International Centre of Cave Art and Sarlat, the famous capital of the Périgord Noir.
