About Uzerche

Home to around 3000 people, the picturesque hilltop town of Uzerche is tucked in the lovely Limousin region of west central France. Described by an 18th-century writer as ‘the pearl of the Limousin’, the town has retained much of its historic charm, and is a wonderful destination for culture buffs and happy amblers. There’s a small choice of appealing accommodation options on offer, with our selection of the best places to stay in Uzerche highlighting a lovingly restored favourite.

Perched atop a rocky outcrop above the Vézère River, Uzerche is a natural citadel. A strategic medieval crossroads, it has an illustrious history as a trading hub, and is still characterised by lanes lined with ancient houses, vaulted passageways and stone towers. Highlights include the Romanesque Church of St Peter, the 14th-century Becharie Castle and the Tower of the Black Prince. Strolls from the flower-filled Jardin de la Bécharie to the riverbank are wonderful, whilst guided tours of the town centre come highly recommended.

Venture into the surrounding countryside to follow hiking, cycling and horse riding trails, or to try kayaking and canyoning along the Vézère River. Return to our pick of the best places to stay in Uzerche for long sauna soaks and delicious dinners.
