Archealogical remains

The Corrèze has a number of archeological remains that are loaded with mystery and emotion. Among the département’s Gallo-Roman sites, Les Cars in Saint-Merd-les-Oussines stands out for the size and architectural quality of its ruins, which comprise a 2C granite temple, mausoleum and 15-room villa. Another complex is located further east, in the commune of Margerides. An archeological site of Celtic origin, Les Arènes de Tintignac in the commune of Naves, is exceptional for the ritual artefacts discovered here in September 2004 (carnyx horn, helmets etc).
