The Xaintrie Blanche is the eastern part of the Xaintrie region, a territory in southern Corrèze that stretches along the border with Cantal. Its name, "Blanche" (White), comes from the predominance of granite subsoil, which gives it a high plateau landscape, broken by the deep valleys of the Dordogne and Maronne rivers. The landscape is characterized by dense hedgerows and vast deciduous forests, interspersed with pastures used for grazing. The history of this region is that of a land of lords and isolated peasants, marked by a rich rural heritage and small stone villages. The flora is that of the Limousin forests, rich in oak and beech trees, while the fauna is typical of mid-mountain plateaus, with numerous deer and wild boar, offering an authentic and wild face of the Corrèze.
