Tourist Information and places to visit
In a lovely setting on a raised hilltop overlooking the valley of the Sourdoire river, Curemonte is a classified most beautiful village of France surrounded by the rolling countryside of the region.
The pretty village has three chateau - the Chateau de Plas, the Chateau de Saint-Hilaire, Chateau de la Johannie - in the village itself - something of a world record! because of its position on the ridge of a hill, Curemont has lovely views across the surrounding Limousin valleys.
Curemonte is less 'modernised' than many of the most beautiful villages, adding to its charm. It has less faciilities than many (i.e. it isn't swamped with giftshops and cafes).
It also has three churches, and various other interesting buildings and attractive houses - follow the main street through the village and you won't go far wrong.
Not a large village, Curemonte gives a genuine impression of being little changed through the centuries. Take time to explore, and to admire the little details - the ornate doorways and windows, the rooves of the houses.
Interesting footnote: Colette, the renowned French author, stayed here during 1940.
Other beautiful villages nearby include Carennac, Autoire, Loubressac and Turenne.
