Tips from the Community
The cottages are clean and well-equipped. I really appreciated their attic aspect, although you have to climb a bit, but for a teenager it's great, the rooms upstairs under the roof ;)

A pilgrim's stop on the Way of St. James. The church contains relics of St. Leonard, the patron saint of prisoners. Pilgrimages to this site have been held since the 11th century; even Richard the Lionheart made a pilgrimage here. A stamp for the pilgrim's passport is available in the church.

The Church of Saint-Pierre in Uzerche has been a listed historical monument since 1840. It perfectly embodies the Romanesque heritage of the Limousin region. You can visit the church, the crypt, and the gardens at the rear free of charge.
