Curemonte

Curemonte is a medieval hilltop village in Corrèze, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, officially listed among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (“Most Beautiful Villages of France”). It is renowned for its three castles, Romanesque churches, and remarkably preserved feudal character.

Curemonte is recorded as early as 860 in the Cartulaire de l’Abbaye de Beaulieu, when Archbishop Rodolphe de Turenne donated vineyards and land here to the abbey. - Built on a ridge overlooking the Sourdoire and Maumont valleys, the village had strong defensive importance throughout the Middle Ages. In the 11th century, Curemonte flourished under the powerful Viscounts of Turenne, who controlled much of the Limousin region.

The French writer Colette stayed in Curemonte during WWII. Her daughter, Bel-Gazou, owned two of the castles (Saint-Hilaire and Plas). Colette mentions the village in her Journal à rebours.
