The Weather in Corrèze

Corrèze is a region with multiple climates, this is due to the differences in altitude between the mountains and plateaus of the north and the plains of the south, but there is also a microclimate to the east of the department, quite mild in the Vallée de la Dordogne.

Around Brive, you will find the Aquitaine climate, pleasant and rather mild all year round. Winters are rarely cold but summers tend to get warmer. On the western side of the Vézère gorges, rainfall is a little more abundant. In and around Tulle it will be a bit cooler as you get closer to the higher hills in altitude. In the Monédières and the Plateau de Millevaches, the climate is rather of the mid-mountain type, which causes more abundant rainfall in the shoulder seasons, more frequent snow in winter (with Bonnefond which also offers some cross-country ski trails and snowshoes). In Xaintrie, on the side of Argentat, it is sometimes colder, because beautiful steep-sided gorges covered with trees bring the fresh air up.
