Curemonte

Curemonte (French pronunciation: [kyʁmɔ̃t]; Limousin: Curamonta) is a commune in the Corrèze department in central France.

In a fortified position on a ridge overlooking a valley on both its eastern and western flanks, the village has historically had a strategic importance in the area.

The name for Curemonte is derived from low Latin Cura montis meaning a location used for an operating estate that's on a mountain or hill.
