Brive la Gaillarde

The word "gaillarde" has two meanings: used nowadays to mean bold or charming, in the Middle Ages the term described a fortified town such as Brive. This sunny, friendly town has a rich history, an interesting water tower and a magnificent array of flower-filled parks and gardens. A pleasant town with a relaxed atmosphere, Brive-la-Gaillarde holds an annual book fair, regular "foires grasses" (markets selling duck and goose products) and is renowned for its rugby team.
