Uzerche travel guide
Uzerche is found in the Correze department of Limousin, north of Brive-la-Gaillarde.
The small town is spread up 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 won't take you long to visit Uzerche, but it will be time well spent! park in the Place de la Liberation, and follow the Avenue du General du Gaulle along the village, or park outside the village and cross the pretty river by the old stone bridge - Pont Turgot - and amble up into the village from there.
The old town gateway - Porte Becharie - and the Church of Saint-Pierre are the main highlights of this walled town, along with the narrow streets lined with grand old houses as they climb the hill.
There are lots of pretty houses and buildings to admire - some half-timbered, some with decorative carvings etc - to admire. There are also several rather more grand buildings such as Chateau Pontier. All form a lovely ensemble together.
Because of its location, Uzerche is well placed for those wishing to pursue outdoor sports such as canoeing, hiking, mountain biking and mountain climbing.
Nearby: the chateau at Arnac-Pompadour is 20 kilometres to the west of Uzerche.
