Editing Corrèze (section)

==Geography==
The department makes up of most of Lower Limousin and owes its name to the Corrèze river whose entire course flows through the centre, and passes through the two main cities, [[Tulle]] and [[Brive-la-Gaillarde]]. Tulle is the [[prefecture]] of Corrèze, and Brive-la-Gaillarde the largest city.

===Location===
Since 2015, the department is administered by the [[Nouvelle-Aquitaine]] [[regions of France|region]]. To the north, it borders the departments of [[Haute-Vienne]] and the [[Creuse]], to the east, the departments of [[Puy-de-Dôme]] and [[Cantal]], to the south of that of the [[Lot (department)|Lot]] and, finally, to the west of that of the [[Dordogne]].

===Geology and relief===
Located west of the [[Massif Central]], it consists of three zones: the Mountains (''Montagne''), the plateaus and the Brive Basin.

The mountains' peak at 977 m at [[Mount Bessou]]. Its [[Rhenohercynian Zone]] formation is quite eroded.

The plateaus have deep valleys that head towards the [[Dordogne (river)|Dordogne]] river, such as at the Gimel waterfalls.

South-west of Corrèze, the Brive [[sedimentary basin]] enjoys a more favourable climate. There are sandstone hills like [[Collonges-la-Rouge]].

===Hydrography===
The department is crossed by several rivers, such as [[Vézère]], Corrèze or the Dordogne.

===Climate===
The department transitions between the [[Aquitaine]] and the Massif Central, the Corrèze department sees its elevation gradually rise from the basin of Brive to the Plateau de Millevaches, watershed of the Atlantic facade. This relief explains the wide variety of climates of Corrèze.

===Principal towns===
The most populous commune is [[Brive-la-Gaillarde]]; the prefecture [[Tulle]] is the second-most populous. As of 2019, there are 7 communes with more than 4,000 inhabitants:<ref name=pop2019/>
