Brive la Gaillarde Limousin

|
|
Brive-la-Gaillarde is a town in the
Corrèze department of Limousin, lying 93 km south of Limoges.
The medieval centre is mainly a commercial district with retail
shops and cafés. Right in the middle of town is the much-restored
church of St-Martin, originally Romanesque in style. Numerous
streets fan out from the surrounding square, place du Général-de-Gaulle,
with a number of turreted and towered houses, some dating back
to the thirteenth century. The most impressive is the sixteenth-century
Hôtel de Labenche on boulevard Jules-Ferry, now housing
the town's archeological finds as well as a collection of seventeenth-century
tapestries. One notable landmark outside the inner city is the
Pont Cardinal, a bridge which used to be a crossing point for
travellers from Paris to Toulouse. |
