Note! In France, the lunch hour is sacred and also limited in time. Restaurants are often only open to order between 12:00-13:00 and not before 19:00.
When you stay in La Chapelle Bellevue and discover the rural life around you, you also become part of the Vézère Valley. This area is very popular in Dordogne and extends here into Corrèze. There are several places not far from the house where you can swim in the river, walk in the woods and if you like day trips, there is much more to discover. A full brochure will be waiting for you in the house.
