Culture
In Cornillac, the Sainte-Marie-Madeleine church has towered over the village for eight centuries. It originated as a 13th-century chapel and, as a parish church, is a remarkable historic monument. In the Serre district, the restored Chapelle Saint Genest overlooks an impressive landscape.
Nature
Cornillac is laid out in terraces around the Sainte-Marie-Madeleine church. The steep lanes offer views of the cliffs of the Saint Laurent plateau. Cornillac is also one of the municipalities included in the Natura 2000 site “Pelouses et habitats rocheux des Gorges de Pommerol”.
Anyone wishing to explore Cornillac can rent a holiday apartment.
