How about we go for a picnic? If there's one thing we all like to do, it's meeting up to eat by the water or sitting on the grass with a nice view. Whether for lunch or on summer evenings, what a pleasure to be able to share this moment as a couple, with family or friends. So on your marks, ready? Picnic!
10 minutes away from Brive, with its tables and benches ready for use and the view of bathers, fishermen and boats.
Opt for the banks of the river, 20 minutes from Brive, to eat to the sound of the river flowing, in the shade, on the banks. Tables are set up on the small beach on the Allassac side.
The plus: the country markets organized in summer every Tuesday evening at Le Saillant allow you to stock up on supplies!
Take one more step to the skies, 15 minutes from Brive. Or, go to Garavet-Rives de Vézère for a picnic by the water; tables are set up there.
Sit in the gardens to eat in peace with a breathtaking view of the Corrèze countryside.
The plus: on Friday evenings in summer, traders and producers organize a market on the village square.
Eat to the sound of birdsong, in the municipal park or by the lake at the Leisure Square Jacques Lagrave.
The plus: you can buy refreshments, sandwiches and ice creams at Snack'Art (next to the swimming pool).
For lovers of urban breaks, meet in the Parc de la Guierle in the center of Brive! Don't panic, you won't eat on concrete, this place is green and full of small, shaded and pleasant spaces.
The plus: enjoy the markets held under the Georges Brassens Hall on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday mornings to stock up on supplies!
To combine heritage, views of the South-West and gastronomy, Turenne, a site classified among the Most Beautiful Villages, is the ideal place. Tables are set up at the bottom of the castle. At the Turenne Gare pond, some picnic tables await you.
To take in the full view with not one but two 360° panoramas, go to the Yssandon Tower. Be careful when going up, hold on to your calves!
It also offers pleasant picnic spots: in the center of Brive (on the edge of Corrèze, between the fire station and the Bouvie bridge) or more in the countryside, on the greenway by the Saint-Viance side when leaving from the Saint-Viance bridge towards Le Saillant.
Easily accessible from the old village of Fournet by following the signposted path. It overlooks the Couze valley and offers a breathtaking view of the valley.
