GR®480
From Turenne to Cere Gorges (Correze)
|
|
The GR480, nicknamed the "Corrèze to Dordogne Trail," immerses hikers in the southern reaches of the Lower Limousin region. The trail begins in Turenne, one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France," whose medieval silhouette proudly overlooks a past as an independent viscounty. The limestone plateaus of the Corrèze causse gradually give way to the more rugged terrain of the Xaintrie. Built heritage is omnipresent: Romanesque churches, houses with slate roofs, and the remains of castles that once guarded the feudal borders abound. Nature expresses itself with a wild force, particularly upon the spectacular arrival at the Gorges de la Cère. Here, the water has carved narrow, deep canyons, surrounded by beech and oak forests where numerous birds of prey nest. The path winds between cliffs and rocky chaos, offering dizzying views of this impetuous river which marks the border between Corrèze and Cantal.
