Tips from the Community
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

This former chapel has the last windows, designed by Chagall. These windows were commissioned by Mr. de Lasteyrie du Saillant, (owner of the 15th century castle, not visited). The stained glass windows (including so famously blue) represent the East: Creation and West: Two bouquets symbolize love. The windows of the nave are representative grisailles fieldwork in Salient sublimated by their symbolic symbol of the Eucharist through the harvest, wine through the harvest, the Shepherd and Servant through Christ's sheep through the fishery. Access to the chapel is open from 9am to 6pm.
