Hiking - Unchecked Designation of Origin
If emigration often rhymes in Limousin with mason, this walk reveals another less well-known sector, that of wine.
In Haute-Corrèze in the 19th century, agriculture did not allow families to ensure their survival. So, emigration seemed to be the solution. A network of Bordeaux wine merchants was set up, mainly in the north of France. This walk, rich in heritage, sums up this story, and we pass without missing a beat from a remarkable traditional granite building typical of our countryside to the beautiful, opulent residences built by these wealthy merchants.
