Tulle, the heartland of Corrèze
Tulle is a lively town, surrounded by water and greenery : an ideal environment for relaxing, getting away and for taking part in outdoor activities.
Tulle's history has given the town its unique blend of heritage and culture. Its cathedral, its riversides, its maze of lanes and picturesque neighbourhoods, quaint shops, art galleries and workshops (such as the Poinct de Tulle lace workshop) all contribute to making it a special holiday destination.
Tulle is also the accordion capital : visit the Maugein accordion factory or attend one of the area's music festivals, such as the Nuits de Nacre accordion festival. Other interesting places to visit include the Weapon Museum (Musée des Armes) and the Cloister Museum (Musée du Cloître).

Places to see in ( Limoges - France ) Chateau de Chalucet
Places to see in ( Limoges - France ) Chateau de Chalucet
The Château de Châlucet (sometimes written as Chalusset), a ruined castle, is in the commune of Saint-Jean-Ligoure, about 10 km to the south of Limoges, in the département of Haute-Vienne, and less than 2 km from the Pôle de Lanaud. The ruins dominate the confluence of the rivers Briance and Ligoure.
The castle was built in the 13th century by Bishop Eustorge. In 1306, it was ceded by Henri de Sully to the French king, Philip IV. In 1369, it was attacked by the English. It was a refuge for Huguenots during the Wars of Religion. In 1539, the townspeople of Limoges secured its demolition.
An object of power for the local lords and belonging to the abbey of Solignac, it was the symbol of the feudal power for those (mainly bishops or Viscounts of Limoges) who disputed the use and control of it. At the beginning of the 14th century, the king of France himself seemed to make very large investments there. By an irony of the history, its defensive role, very dissuasive until the 15th century, was fully used during the Hundred Years' War by bands of plunderers which roamed the country.
The castle is a medieval fortress, with a purely defensive goal; it is composed of two parts:
a castle, on the top of a timbered rocky overcrop represents the upper Châlucet (French: Haut Châlucet);
a square keep of the 12th century, called Tour Jeanette is the remaining part of the residence building, that was the lower Châlucet (French: bas Châlucet). The overall shape of the fortress was trapezoidal, and was composed of the main building (formerly arched), courtyards, and the keep.
Restored at the end of the 1990s, the Château de Châlucet is easily accessible today, with a tourist circuit and explanatory panels. The castle is opne to visitors all year, with guided tours possible from April to November. The property of the département, it has been listed since 1875 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

A Rented House in Corrèze Département, France

There is another clip up, a different one, of this house we rented for a week in Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, France. It is over on my SLOBOMOTION channel here on YouTube, and the landlady's phone number is indicated. She was delighted I did some clips of her 17th century house (possibly a former tannery), which sleeps five. The house is rented in June, July, August and September. The price ended up at 317 euros for seven days, and that included cleaning, tax, utilities, linens and whatnot. During peak season, she charges more for the house, but we still find her rates very reasonable. If several people were to share the cost, this would be very inexpensive, indeed.
The house is on a little canal and has access rights to a peninsula and direct access to a tributary of the Dordogne River. There is a grilling area, a big porch, a big garden terrace with a table and chairs, general garden areas, and there is enough space inside so that up to five people would not likely feel crowded. There's a washing machine for your laundry, and racks to hang it on to dry. The house was very well equipped. The bathroom was small and old-fashioned, but we were very comfortable here, nonetheless. Beaulieu has a wonderful history, great architecture, lots of shops and services, and there is an excellent market which runs the first and third Friday mornings of each month. I am disabled so really appreciated that all our errands could be done on foot, right in the village. (There is a huge supermarket a few kilometers away, but again, you don't really need to go there.) You can rent a bike in the village, or a kayak, and fishing is extremely popular here (so is hunting).
The region is full of castles, villages, forests, canyons, and assorted attractions. Agriculture is huge here and the area is known for tobacco farming, corn, walnuts, apples and other fruit, foie gras, goat products and more. The religious wars and the Hundred Years War have left their marks all over this area, and there is a large British presence still in the Dordogne and Quercy. We did not take any toll roads, and the drive from Paris took six hours, and on the return about eight (traffic). There were so many things to see and do all around Beaulieu, we did not have to buy more diesel fuel for our car all week.
