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.

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.

Uzerche is a city with a unique charm; towers and pinnacles respond to each other, stone walls and slate roofs merge. The place is truly magical and worth the detour

On the banks of the Corrèze, a 5-minute walk from the town center of the same name, is the Notre-Dame du Pont du Salut chapel. Built for the first time in the 15th century, the restorations of the 18th and 19th centuries profoundly modified it.
