The green lane

The Corrèze greenway: a 17km route through Brive.

You can walk along the Corrèze through Brive-la-Gaillarde on the voie verte. This ribbon of road along the riverbank is a great way to enjoy the city in a different way, whether it's for pleasure or for sport... Families, onlookers and sports enthusiasts can take advantage of this protected route to travel from east to west and vice versa... the more adventurous can even start at the source, almost at Aubazine, and make their way to the confluence with the Vézère at Saint Pantaléon de Larche, for a total distance of 17 km.

Development of the green route

The voie verte should evolve and we even dream of being able to promote a complete route towards the Dordogne to eventually reach Lascaux from Brive-la-Gaillarde, on foot or by bike... this is not yet possible on a continuous strip, but we are working on it.
