The Maison de la Sirène is not very big, but offers a beautiful documentation of memories and furniture from the Middle Ages.

Text panels tell the story of the house and its preservation.

The house takes its name from the stone siren above the entrance, a hybrid creature from Greek mythology, half human, half fish.

saint pierre church

Highlight • Other

The Church of Saint-Pierre de Collonges-la-Rouge, located in the picturesque village of Collonges-la-Rouge, is a remarkable building that attracts attention not only for its architecture but also for its fascinating history. Built in the late 11th century in red sandstone, this church was enlarged in the Middle Ages and fortified in the late 14th century. It has a complex plan with two naves and several chapels added in the 15th and 16th centuries, giving it an irregular and unique appearance. The church's Romanesque bell tower, dating from the 12th century, is considered an archetypal example of the Limousin style, with only four examples remaining in the region. The church is also famous for its portal decorated with a white limestone tympanum, contrasting with the surrounding red sandstone, and sculpted around 1140 by artists from Toulouse. Listed as a historic monument since 1905, the Saint-Pierre Church is a heritage jewel that bears witness to the rich and varied history of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

Collonges-la-Rouge Village

Highlight • Settlement

A magnificent old town in which buildings are made with local red stone. The town is known as the city of the 25 towers. Lots of craftsmen, restaurants, shops... A bit crowded, but very pleasant to walk around the small streets looking at the turrets, doors, old constructions...
