Chateau de Brie

Just a few kilometres from Champagnac-La-riviere you will find the glorious Chateau de Brie.
A castle built at the end of the 15th century at the border of the parc naturel. The grounds are calm with flowers and surrounded by 800 acres of woodland. Closeby is the Chateau de Chalus. This was once the chateau of Richard the Lionheart.



You will find the following links to our regional sites offer vast amounts of information to anybody visiting the Limousin and closer to home at Oradour Sur Vayres.
