Bort-les-Orgues, Administrative commune in Haute-Corrèze, France
Bort-les-Orgues is a commune nestled along the Dordogne River in Haute-Corrèze. The settlement is defined by distinctive volcanic basalt cliffs that rise around 100 meters and stretch for roughly two kilometers along the riverside.
The canton of Bort-les-Orgues was established in 1790 and initially attached to the Ussel district during the administrative reorganization of the region. Subsequent territorial changes continued until the canton's dissolution in 2015.
The cinema Le 7ème Art and municipal library serve as gathering places where residents and visitors experience local cultural life. Regular film screenings and reading club meetings bring the community together throughout the year.
The town sits conveniently along the river valley with accessible viewpoints for the cliffs and surrounding landscape. A France Services office in the community can assist with local information and practical visitor questions.
The Saut de la Saule is a lesser-known geological formation about three kilometers east where the Rhue meets the Dordogne, featuring unusual rock shapes. Few visitors venture to this spot, yet it reveals striking evidence of the region's volcanic past.
