Explore the caves and natural cavities of Corrèze
Between forests, valleys, and charming villages, Corrèze harbors another treasure, more discreet but equally spectacular: its caves and natural cavities.
True geological wonders, they offer an immersion in a timeless underground world, where surprising mineral formations and fascinating stories mingle.
If you're visiting Corrèze, don't miss exploring these exceptional sites.
Located in Noailles, a few kilometers from Brive-la-Gaillarde, the Gouffre de la Fage captivates with its raw beauty and rare biodiversity.
Listed as a remarkable natural site, it plunges visitors 25 meters underground, into a succession of chambers adorned with stalactites, stalagmites, and surprisingly shaped limestone draperies.
A favorite habitat for several protected species of bats, the chasm is also a valuable example of an underground ecosystem. You can take part in guided tours led by scientific guides and accessible to the whole family.
Beyond the Gouffre de la Fage, Corrèze is full of other underground sites, some less well-known but equally captivating, and many caves accessible to caving enthusiasts.
The Cave of Saint-Antoine in Brive attracts many curious visitors and pilgrims. Nestled in a cliff, it combines religious heritage with geological beauty.
With its 15-meter-long galleries, the Cave of La Garnie consists of a rock hollowed out by narrow stairs. Access is between the villages of Le Bouix and La Garnie.
But there are many other caves, such as the Event des Jonquilles in Noailles, the Perte de la Couz, the Gouffre du Briant, and the Murel Cave.
In total, the Corrèze Speleological Society lists more than 500 caves in the region, an endless playground for beginners and experienced underground explorers.
Located opposite the Brive-la-Gaillarde market, the Best Western Le Quercy hotel is ideally located near shops and the rugby stadium.
Discover our 50 air-conditioned and soundproofed rooms and suites, all equipped with a Nespresso coffee machine and a minibar.
After your day of sightseeing, enjoy a well-deserved break in the hotel's lounge bar with a glass of wine or a cocktail.
