Corrèze's largest town, Brive-la-Gaillarde owes its "gaillarde" (valiant) nickname to its inhabitants' bravery under siege; its old core of beige sandstone and slate wraps around the Saint-Martin collegiate church, with the Georges-Brassens market halls — sung by the poet — as its gourmet epicentre. Brive-Vallée de la Dordogne airport (LFSL), some fifteen kilometres south, serves Paris and London: its regulated surroundings are the main point of attention, along with the green gorges of the Vézère and Corrèze rivers nearby. Economic capital of its basin, Brive lives on food production (foie gras, truffles, violet mustard), industry (Photonis, Silab, Deshors aerospace) and rugby (CA Brive).
