Le village médiéval haut perché de Turenne (notrebellefrance, plus beaux villages de france)
Le nom de cette localité était celui d'une vicomté qui forma pendant des siècles un véritable petit Etat souverain. De ce passé subsiste, dans la ville haute, les vestiges des trois enceintes et un donjon carré qui protégeaient le château. Celui-ci fut d'ailleurs démantelé au moment du rattachement de la vicomté à la Couronne de France, et il n'en reste que deux tours, dont l'une, la tour de César, date du XIIIe siècle.
Dans les rues pavées de galets irréguliers, les maisons encastrées se regroupent autour de petites places. De riches bâtisses en calcaire sont adossées à la forteresse. Des hôtels particuliers flanqués de tourelles et de tours coiffées en poivrière datent du XVe siècle. En plus des nombreuses belles demeures anciennes, le village conserve deux monuments religieux : la collégiale du XVIe siècle et la chapelle des Capucins du XVIIe siècle.

Cascade d'Autoire, waterval
De watervallen bij Autoire liggen diep in het bos. Al klimmend en klauterend, hoor je dat je dichterbij komt. Een avontuur, dat de moeite meer dan waard is. Oh ja, neem een handdoek en wat droge kleren mee. Het laatste stuk loop je door het - overigens heerlijk koude - water
