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.

This small village in Bas-Limousin lies peacefully in the heart of the Corrèze countryside. Its natural setting, with the Blanchefort Forest and the Puy d'Arial to the east and the Brézou Marsh to the south, makes it a charming starting point for hiking. But before that, stop by the Romanesque church of Saint-Marcel, with its bas-reliefs and 17th-century altarpiece.

Beautiful old city gate. The 12th and 13th century was the time when the troubadours Gaucelm Faidit and Uc la Bachellerie made waves in Uzerche. In the 13th and 14th centuries, Uzerche's position was again reflected in the arrival of influential figures, Louis IX of France in 1244 and 1256, Philip III of France in 1285, Pope Clement V in 1306 and Charles IV of France in 1324. The plague wreaked havoc in Uzerche between 1346 and 1348. In Uzerche there are still many people who hang a nut twig on the front door on June 24. This is an old tradition to thank Saint John for protecting it from the plague. In the 14th century, the inhabitants of Uzerche repulsed several attacks and in 1374, after repulsing an English attack, they were allowed to add three royal lilies to their coat of arms. In the same century, new fortresses were built and the city of Uzerche received nine gates that provided access to the city. Of these gates, only the Porte Bécharie remains.
