THE BURG
Thanks to a leaflet handed out by the Tourist Office you can walk along the narrow streets of the old town. At the entrance of the main street a museum relates the history of the city to that of the Viscount of Turenne allowing you to discover the secrets and wonders of this pretty market town. Rue du Commandant Charollais, the Courrèze house, the seat of the Viscount States in the 17th century, the Hall place (destroyed in 1952), the Vachon house with dovecote and decorated bays (formerly the house of the consuls of Turenne in the 16th and 17th centuries), the hotel Carbonnières of Louis XIII style with turret and watchtower… or even the Chapitre house, in rue Joseph Rouveyrol, remarkable for its flamboyant Gothic style door with pinnacles. Towards the hill, the Calvaire tower recalls the 3rd enclosure. The fortified gate leads to the 2nd house of the Sénéschal and the chapel of the Capucins (1643), hosting exhibitions. From the esplanade surrounding the limestone cliffs, you enjoy a superb view that you can take the time to admire, sitting on a bench.
It's a shame that the central square of the old village serf parking to local people, including tourist period, and even for those who have a garage! That spoils the photos that you could do.
Many craft shops (enamels…), local producers, organic or not (specialities with nuts, jams, honey, gingerbreads, wines, etc.) souvenirs and postcards.
Affordable restaurants (set menu with € __ent_numeric) but not experienced.
The narrow streets are steep but without stairs and therefore accessible to strollers.
