Brive-la-Gaillarde: Between Heritage & Gastronomy

Nestled at the edge of the Massif Central, between the Vézère and Dordogne valleys, Brive-la-Gaillarde is a charming town full of character.

A rich and diverse heritage

The old town features beautiful sandstone buildings and narrow cobbled streets. Highlights include:

• Saint-Martin Collegiate Church with its contemporary stained-glass windows by Jean Cocteau.

• Labenche Museum, located in a Renaissance mansion, showcasing the area’s history and art — including its WWII legacy, as Brive was one of the first French cities to self-liberate in 1944.

An authentic and generous cuisine

Every Saturday, the heart of Brive comes alive with its famous market: foie gras, confit, cheeses, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and the famous violet mustard (made with grape must).

Key specialties include:

• Périgord black truffle, milk-fed veal, walnuts, and duck confit.

Local dishes like gizzard salad, duck breast with ceps, and walnut cake are served with wines from the South-West.

A way of life to experience

Immortalized in a song by Georges Brassens, Brive-la-Gaillarde is vibrant and welcoming. The city hosts:

• Book Fair (Foire du Livre) in November

• Summer festivals, concerts, and open-air shows

A visit to Brive offers a perfect blend of history, flavors, and friendliness — true to its name: “la Gaillarde”, the valiant and generous one.
