We visited Collanges la Rouge yesterday.
It's a beautiful little village about 40 mins drive from our house in Correze
Once a well known halt on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrim route, it became known as the "Town Of 25 Towers". Dating from the XVI century, most of its buildings are constructed from deep red sandstone.

Until 1730, it remained entirely independant from the French Crown.
Collonges la Rouge has now survives mainly on tourism and agriculture. Absolutely brilliant from a photographic point of view.
