Arnac-Pompadour (French pronunciation: [aʁnak pɔ̃paduʁ]; Occitan: Arnac e Pompador) is a commune in the Corrèze department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of central France.
A railway passes through the commune: Pompadour station has rail connections to Brive-la-Gaillarde, Saint-Yrieix and Limoges.
Geoffroi Hélie de Pompadour extended the castle in the 15th century having inherited the illustrious Viscounty of Comborn in 1513.
After that family died out, the inheritance (including the estate, the title and coat-of-arms) was disputed in a long trial between the Prince of Conti and the Marquis de La Vallière and it was finally transferred to the Crown.
In 1745, Louis XV gave it to his favourite, Mme d'Étiolles, who was given the title Marquise de Pompadour.
[6] A postage stamp, worth 3.00 francs (€0.46), representing Arnac-Pompadour castle was issued on 10 July 1999.
