Egletons: Egletons Airport
In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, few places have a past as tightly bound to the Viscounts of Ventadour as Égletons. The town in Corrèze developed as one of their fortified centres, and sections of its medieval defences still shape the old core. Égletons stands on the wooded Plateau de Millevaches, part of the Massif Central, where settled upland terrain differs markedly from the lowlands farther west. Égletons Airport is a small local aerodrome on this plateau, with a paved airfield precinct framed by forest. The town is also known in France for its long-standing connection with education in public-works and civil-engineering trades, lending this compact upland community a practical, technical identity alongside its medieval fabric.

Égletons combines a compact medieval centre with a modern public-works education tradition in a way that reflects its position on the foothills of the Plateau de Millevaches in the Massif Central. In Corrèze, granite-built streets and surviving sections of former fortifications recall a town shaped by the Middle Ages; the Tour de Ventadour is among its enduring landmarks. Égletons is also closely associated with training for construction and civil-engineering trades, notably through its public-works schools. Forests and upland terrain begin close to town, giving this part of Nouvelle-Aquitaine a distinctly central-French character.
