An emblematic site in Corrèze, ranked among the most beautiful waterfalls in France. Including Le Grand Saut, La Redole and La Queue de Cheval. Knowing the site for years, I use a personal route that allows you to see the first from an angle that few observe. The following is a shortcut reserved for initiates, who must tread the bramble under foot and descend on the rockery hidden under the ivy, to join the traditional circuit at the foot of the Redole. The rest is no less magnificent on the tourist route. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascades_de_Gimel

Nice dam near Saint Pradoux with a view of the artificial lake. It was created by the construction in 1949 of the Valette dam located in the town of St Pardoux-la-Croisille on the river Doustre.

Correze Cycling Holidays is a very nice chambre d'hote for cyclists, owned by the English couple Samantha and James Parry. It is a great base for cycling through the beautiful rolling countryside of Correze in the Dordogne, for all levels. The rooms are nice and the beds good. The inner man is also excellently taken care of.
