Course[change]
The source of the Corrèze is in northwestern Massif Central, in the plateau of Millevaches, to the south of the commune of Pérols-sur-Vézère, in the Corrèze department, at an altitude of 910 m (2,986 ft).[3]
It flows through the communes of Corrèze and Tulle. Then it flows into the plain in the southwest of the department and flows through the communes of Malemort-sur-Corrèze and Brive-la-Gaillarde.
Finally, west of Brive-la-Gaillarde, it flows into the Vézère river at the limit between Saint-Pantaléon-de-Larche and Ussac, at 98 m (322 ft) of altitude.[4]
The Corrèze river flows through 24 communes, all in the Corrèze department.[1]
The name of the river, Corrèze, is found in the name of the department and of three communes: Les Angles-sur-Corrèze, Corrèze and Malemort-sur-Corrèze.
