Lapleau | Ventadour-Egletons-Monédières in Corrèze

15 minutes away from Egletons, Lapleau, from the occitan language La Pléu, stretches along a main street where we find a rich and preserved historical heritage (church, castles, …).

Delimited by the Luzège river, a tributary of the Dordogne, Lapleau is located in an almost intact nature. A few kilometers away from the village, you can see the Black Rocks Viaduct (also called Roche-Taillade), which connects Lapleau to another village, Soursac.

Some hiking trails allow you to walk the Neyrat waterfall or to see the splendid panorama on the Luzege valley.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO

The Black Rocks Viaduct: suspended bridge through which the Transcorrezian passed in the 20th Century. The bridge is listed as a Historical Monument since 2000. It is, for security measures, forbidden to pedestrian or vehicle traffic. But you can admire it from different points of view.
Church Saint-Etienne : neo-romanesque church of the 19th century, which houses the treasures of many churches belonging to the former canton of Lapleau.
Rouby castle : dating from the 17th century, it sees its lauze roof being listed as a Historical Monument. It is a private property, so it is not available to visitation.
The Neyrat waterfall : from the top of its rock, the Neyrat waterfall flows and takes you to a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by greenery. The waterfall is accessible by following a hiking path.
The Lestrange site : medieval castle of the 11th century. There is only a few ruins left, which you can see during a 5 kilometers hiking trail.
The Vendahaut lake : a 2 hectare lake where you can bath and have fun and fish.
