Distances can seem twice as long because of the winding roads and, as a result, the view continuously changes. The Corrèze is, therefore, a popular area of exile for artists from all over the world. The woody country, criss-crossed by rivers and with a few lakes together are the main attraction of the Bas-Corrèze. Other than the dense forests it is mainly an agrarian area with a rural character. Millevaches, the highland in Haute-Corrèze and the Massif des Monédiéres in the Pays de Tulle are mainly uninhabited. Nevertheless, there are plenty of recreational possibilities. The dams of Neuvic and Bort are perfect for sporty recreation; sailing, windsurfing and waterskiing.

The small towns and villages of the region have their own fascination and charm. In the department Corrèze are no less than six of 100 France’s most beautiful villages: Turenne, the perfectly restored village of Collonges-la-Rouge, Curemonte, St-Robert, Treignac and Ségur-le-Château.

The most outstanding sight seeings in the nearby surroundings are the cave of Gouffre de la Fage, the Lac du Causse and the quarries of Les Pans de Travassac.

Often heard qualities for visiting this region are certainly: the mild climate, the magnificent unspoilt nature, easy living and the amiability and hospitality of the local population.
