This region is known for its six most beautiful villages that, as noted by Travel + Leisure, resemble 'a walk through a fairy tale,' from Ballièvre-sur-Dordogne to Collonges-la-Rouge.
Other villages include Curemonte, Saint-Robert, Ségur-le-Château, and Turenne.
Collonges-la-Rouge
The village of Collonges-la-Rouge attracts visitors with its dark red brick houses – hence its name.
One visitor on Tripadvisor described the village as having 'fairy-tale red sandy castles.'
In the village, you can find 25 towers, cobbled streets, and beautiful houses adorned with wisteria.
Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne
Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne is characterized as 'a village you cannot help but fall in love with.'
Here you will find beautiful houses on the riverside along the Dordogne River, and the village usually has few tourists.
Beaulieu is also famous for its mild climate, which offers many sunny days and moderate temperatures, earning it the title of 'the Riviera of Limousin.'
The village is also known for its strawberry production, celebrated with an annual grand festival.
AlamyTurenne is described as 'frozen in time.'
AlamyBeaulieu-sur-Dordogne has a church located on the riverside.
One of the village's churches, known as the Chapelle des Pénitents, is right by the river, making it an ideal spot for a rest during a boat trip.
Curemonte
Curemonte, located between two other villages, is called 'the Village of Three.'
This is due to the three castles, three churches, and three fountains – quite a lot for a village with only 200 residents.
The castles with round and square towers rise above the Dordogne valley. All of them remain privately owned and are not open for visitors.
However, here you can take beautiful photos of them and the surrounding landscapes.

Saint-Robert is a village located on a hill at the border of Corrèze and Dordogne.
In the village, you can find medieval stone houses and historic buildings, creating a feeling like you have stepped back in time.

Here you can see narrow streets with half-timbered houses and medieval towers, as well as a riverside square shaded by huge chestnut trees.
Turenne
Turenne is described as 'a place frozen in time and history,' which has not succumbed to the pressure of tourists.
The village center is a pedestrian area, and pathways lead to the ruins of a castle that towers on a hill.
