The Puy de Manzagol offers a magnificent view of the region, particularly Lake Triouzoune. The path leading up to the puy is not very steep, but it is short. An orientation table and benches are available at the summit.

The castle, which once dominated the Dordogne valley from a rocky outcrop, has stood since 1952 on a headland that juts out into the Barrage de Bort-les-Orgues reservoir. The original character of the castle can only be guessed at when the water level is low. The multi-storey building is surrounded by five towers of roughly the same thickness and one thinner one, each with overhangs and conical roofs. The individual floors are connected by a spiral staircase in the vestibule. The inner courtyard was originally roofless. The first floor consists of three large rooms with decorated fireplaces from the mid-19th century and various furniture. An art exhibition with works by painters, mostly from the region, takes place every year on the second floor. The artistically crafted roof trusses of the towers can be seen from the battlement on the top floor. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Val

The municipality of Bort-les-Orgues has around 2500 inhabitants and is located in the Dordogne valley. Bort is the name of a ford with a steep slope. The name les Orgues (the organ pipes) is given by a striking rock formation above the town.[

The Bort dam is a structure 120 meters high and 390 meters long, straddling the municipalities of Bort and Lanobre, and creating a reservoir of more than 10 km2. Built between 1942 and 1952, it was then a veritable concrete juggernaut and today it remains one of the largest dams in France (and still the third in mainland France if we look at the quantity of water retained by a concrete construction). It is also the first and largest reservoir in the hydroelectric system of the Dordogne valley.

Small supervised family beach, very clean water with the possibility of eating in a nice atmosphere

A timeless place! On the border of the Dordogne and the Corrèze, they constitute one of the best observatories in the area. These cliffs look like a giant organ, which gave them this name
