Uzerche
Uzerche is found in the Correze department of Limousin, north of Brive-la-Gaillarde, in a pretty riverside setting surrounded by tree covered hills.
The medieval old town is spread out along a rocky outcrop, which is circled by a meander in the Vézère River - there are good views from the higher parts especially around St Eulalie. It can be accessed either by a small road above the fortifications, or by a steep flight of stairs that winds up past the terraces below the castle.
The medieval town is quite extensive, with a row of impressive building spread out along the river-facing fortifications, and a few streets of old houses behind these ramparts. Many of the most noteworthy buildings have information placards explaining their historical origins. Two of the main buildings overlooking the river are the Maison Boyer Chammard (notable by its balconies) and the Hotel des Joyet de Maubec, both dating from the 16th to 18th centuries.



Among the other 'main' buildings are:
- the Church of Saint-Pierre, and the little medieval garden next to it
- the Prince Noir (Black Prince) Tower
- the Church of Saint-Eulalie
- the Chateau (Hotel) Becharie
There are many other buildings of interest, and several smaller houses with features of architectural interest - ornate stone doorways, turrets etc such as the Chateau de Tayac, or the small Chapel Notre-Dame de Becharie at the upper (south-eastern) end of the fortifications.


Park in the car pak marked 'vieille ville' which is best placed for exploring the old town.
Because of its location, Uzerche is well placed for those wishing to pursue outdoor sports such as canoeing, hiking, mountain biking and mountain climbing. In the town itself it is possible to walk along the banks of the Vezere River, with tables provided for picnics.
Nearby: the chateau at Arnac-Pompadour is 20 kilometres to the west of Uzerche.
