The Vézère gorges in Corrèze offer a wild and rugged landscape, a stark contrast to the plains of southwestern France. The river has carved its bed into the granite and schist bedrock of the Millevaches Plateau, creating steep cliffs and spectacular meanders. The flora is typical of a cool, damp environment, characterized by dense deciduous and coniferous forests, as well as a wide variety of mosses and ferns. The history of these gorges is linked to the harshness of the Limousin region and, more recently, to hydroelectric power, with several dams transforming the river's course into lakes. Wildlife is well-preserved, with the presence of the European otter and numerous fish species, notably trout, in the clear waters near picturesque villages like Treignac.
