Saint-Robert, a Benedictine gem and stately homes in the heart of the Corrèze countryside

Situated on the border between Limousin and Périgord, Saint-Robert combines the simple charm of its countryside with the grandeur of its medieval heritage.

Let yourself be captivated by the beauty of its fortified Romanesque church, a remnant of a former Benedictine monastery, and by the elegance of its stately homes built of cut stone! Perched at 350 metres above sea level, the village offers a panoramic view of the rolling countryside of southern Corrèze.

Looking for a quiet yet charming getaway? You’ve come to the right place!

In this region bordering Corrèze and the Dordogne, the turbulent period of the Middle Ages has left behind numerous traces.

Walk to the miraculous fountain

Here’s a lovely suggestion for a walk for lovers of nature and legends! This 7 km route (allow 2 hours 15 minutes’ walking) will take you to a place known as ‘Saint-Maurice’, which was once home to a commandery of the Order of Saint John, of which a few remains can still be seen, notably two beautiful arches and, above all, a ‘miraculous’ fountain. According to legend, this fountain is said to have the power to heal sick children and help the elderly age well...
