Site Corot, Natural site in Saint-Junien, France.
The site encompasses an 800-meter trail along the Glane River, featuring large granite rocks and dense vegetation between the Brice and Rochebrune mills.
Between 1852 and 1861, pre-impressionist painter Jean-Baptiste Corot regularly visited this location, which later received his name as recognition.
The reconstructed Corot chalet and a bronze portrait embedded in granite stand as testimonials to the painter's connection with this natural setting.
The walking path remains accessible throughout the year, offering picnic tables and educational panels about local flora, fauna, and industrial heritage.
The site contains twelve authenticated 17th-century mills, including four rag paper factories, with Brice Mill preserving the only remaining wool carding machine.
