Collonges-la-Rouge is a commune in the French department of Corrèze and has 413 inhabitants. The place is part of the arrondissement of Brive-la-Gaillarde. Collonges-la-Rouge has been recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in France by Les Plus Beaux Villages de France.
Built on the geological fault line of Meyssac, Collonges-la-Rouge owes its name to the red sandstone that makes it so atypical. The mystery of this color lies in its iron oxide content (just over 2%).
Nestled between walnut and chestnut trees, it is an ideal place to discover its built heritage and to stroll. You will especially appreciate strolling through the maze of scarlet streets dotted with stalls and restaurant terraces.
The village of Collonges-la-Rouge is also a stopover on the Voie de Rocamadour, a quieter route for walkers on their way to Compostela.
