The history of the Prieuré Corrèze

A place rich in history for gathering and resting.

The main building, now home to Le Prieuré Corrèze, was erected at the end of the 19th century to become the Notre-Dame school. It was two nuns from the congregation of the Sacred Heart of Mary who took charge of it.

During the Second World War, the boarding school became a voluntary hospital. It was in 1933 that the chapel was built on the south side of the building.

In 1943, to meet the needs of the time, the construction of an annex building was initiated, and a domestic science school was established to provide theoretical and practical knowledge to wives within the context of family life.

In 1970, due to a lack of funding, the religious school was closed. An alternative school emerged a few years later, but the experience did not last. In the early 1980s, under the influence of the Chirac couple, the insurance company GMF decided to acquire the property, initially to create a high-end senior residence, and later a 4-star hotel (La Séniorie), with the management mandate given to the Accor group.

During these 35 years of hotel life, this exceptional place hosted numerous political and event-related gatherings.

The Chirac couple enjoyed meeting here to organize political and diplomatic meetings.

Thus, in 1998, Mrs. Clinton and part of the American delegation stayed at the hotel at the invitation of Mrs. Chirac.

Other foreign delegations and political events were hosted within the hotel’s premises, not to mention the stays of artistic personalities such as Johnny Hallyday and Jean Carmet.

Mrs. Chirac enjoyed staying at this establishment during her many visits to Corrèze.

The room 18, whose windows offer a clear view of the village of Corrèze that the First Lady of the time cherished so much, was reserved for her.

In 2019, GMF decided to stop the hotel activity and put the property up for sale a few years later. Marc Roussel and his associates acquired this exceptional property, and the new operating company was established in the spring of 2024 under the name Prieuré Corrèze. This new and exciting adventure was born after some renovation and interior redesign work, which will continue to evolve in the coming months and years. The entire team warmly welcomes you to Prieuré Corrèze.
