The area
Based in the south-west of Corrèze, the welcoming and charming town of Brive-la-Gaillarde hosts the famous market that Georges Brassens sang about… Three times a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning, the centre for gastronomy that is Brive market enables locals and visitors to stock up on delicious regional produce.
At the very heart of the historic centre, you can see the Collegiate Church of St. Martin, a listed Historic Monument, and its Neo-Romanesque bell tower. Built from the 12th century onwards on relics dating back to the 5th century, then remodelled several times over the course of history, the church was described as remarkable by the famous architect Viollet-le-Duc. While the transept, part of the chevet and the beautiful capitals adorned with narrative scenes are a reminder of the Romanesque era, the archaeological crypt houses Merovingian and Carolingian remains from the previous buildings, as well as sarcophagi from the 6th and 7th centuries.
