This summer, travelers craving authentic French countryside charm have a new option: a direct air connection between Nice and Brive-la-Gaillarde, launched by regional airline Chalair. With weekly flights available through early September 2025, this new route opens the gateway to the heart of Corrèze — a destination known for its medieval villages, rolling green landscapes, and soul-warming gastronomy.
Departing every Friday from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport at 3:30 p.m. and touching down in Brive by 5:00 p.m., the 1.5-hour flight on board a 70-seat ATR 72 aircraft offers a quick escape from the Riviera to the rustic beauty of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Return flights leave Brive at 1:20 p.m., arriving back in Nice by 2:50 p.m. Just enough time to sip a coffee and enjoy the view before landing.
Brive-la-Gaillarde serves as an ideal base to explore Corrèze — from the UNESCO-listed gorges of the Dordogne to the historic streets of Ussel and the artisan lace of Tulle. It’s a region where time seems to slow, inviting visitors to breathe in nature, culture, and the comforting simplicity of local traditions.
With this new connection, the hidden treasures of southwest France are now within easy reach of the Mediterranean coast. Whether you're looking for green getaways, gastronomic adventures, or charming countryside escapes, Corrèze is just a short flight away.
