Turenne has been designated as 'one of the most beautiful villages of France.' It located on the corner of Correze, the Lot and the Dordogne. The scenery is spectacular and there is much to do in the region. Walking, water sports,fishing, horseback riding or cycling are all available. Famous for it's varieties of food: truffles, duck, walnuts, fois gras, apples, strawberries and of course cheese. Cave paintings in Lascaux and Les Eyzies are within a half-hour drive with rich evidence of life in prehistoric times. Castles and chateaux from the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries abound in the area as well as numerous Romanesque churches. You can find outdoor markets almost every day of the week in one village or another. Meander the back roads and discover the spectacular old world that still exists. Enjoy!
