The beautiful Corrèze town of Uzerche is majestically situated on a rock formation above a tributary of the Vézère. Uzerche, an invincible fortified town, used to be on the border between Upper and Lower Limousin, and played an important role in the Carolingian period and the Middle Ages due to its strategic location and impressive fortresses. At the time it was called "Uzerche the virgin", she who had never been taken. The medieval town is also called the Pearl of Limousin thanks to its rich, remarkable architectural ensemble. Stroll along the old buildings, the stately towers and the atmospheric vaulted passages. The walk takes you past the Bécharie castle, a defence system from the 15th century, rebuilt in the 16th and 17th centuries, on the inventory of historical monuments, definitely recommended to visit

The Church of Saint-Pierre in Uzerche has been a listed historical monument since 1840. It perfectly embodies the Romanesque heritage of the Limousin region. You can visit the church, the crypt, and the gardens at the rear free of charge.

Nicknamed the "Pearl of Limousin," Azerche is a fortified town overlooking a bend in the Vézère River. The village's silhouette is particularly recognizable with its many towers pointing toward the sky.

Chaumeil may not seem like much, but this seemingly insignificant village is home to two local celebrities. A charming museum open only during the summer season pays tribute to Jean Ségurel, the famous accordionist born and died in the village. The museum also has a bicycle by Raymond Poulidor, a famous French cyclist born in Masbaraud-Mérignat in the Creuse. The famous “Allez Poupou” is inscribed in the collective memory of cyclists. His duels with Anquetil contributed to the legend of the Tour de France.

Beautiful old church and crypt free to visit. Don't forget the garden behind the church.

The most beautiful perspective on Uzerche. Also parking space.

The church of Lestards is the only one in France to have a thatched roof, with its 15th century architecture, built mainly in granite. The granite floor has well-recognizable tombstones, although the carvings that adorn them are fairly worn, and old enough that it is not known which local dignitary was buried there.
