Camping Les Chalets sur la Dordogne: Adventure Awaits in Girac

A wide range of viewpoints opens up here, from the perched castle of Loubressac to the site of Carennac, on the other bank of the Dordogne. From Bilhac, the church with its historiated modillions and the castle with its medieval origins introduce an itinerary that crosses hamlets with Quercy architecture, such as Vigier or Masdelpouch. The mill of La Force also contributes to the charm of the route.

Where does the Limousin end and the Quercy begin? From the square tower of Queyssac-les-Vignes, the land of mulled wine, the eye wanders between the castle of Turenne, the Dordogne valley and the Causse de Martel in the distance. From the Saint-Blaise chapel to the Battut manor house, from crosses to fountains, you will discover the viewpoints that adorn this circuit.

Sheltered by its three castles, the medieval village of Curemonte stretches along a line of ridges overlooking the valleys of the Sourdoire and Maumont.

Genoises and flat tiles, gardens overlooking the valley, winegrowers' houses and sandstone buildings in harmony with the landscape mark the transition to the Quercy.

It's been almost 30 years since winemakers rediscovered the knowledge and flavor of this sweet wine, around Queyssac, Meyssac and Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne. Vin de Paille de Corrèze, which was awarded AOC status in 2017, is produced from red grapes (Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon) or white grapes (Chardonnay, Sauvignon). The best bunches are harvested by hand. The bunches are placed on racks and left to dry in airy rooms. As Christmas approaches, the grapes are pressed, and the wine is aged for at least 2 years, then bottled. Miel des Muses" is served as an aperitif, but also accompanies foie gras, cheeses and desserts.

Production of red and white Vin Paillé, and walnut oil. Visit and tasting.

A medieval town on the right bank of the Dordogne, Beaulieu has been dubbed "one of the most beautiful villages in France", thanks to its mild climate, ideal for growing strawberries. Beaulieu's main attraction is its remarkable Saint-Pierre abbey church, whose portal, a masterpiece of Romanesque art depicting the return of Christ at the end of time, is comparable to that of Moissac. Stroll through the narrow streets, compare the turreted facades, decorated with medallions and cherubs, like the house of Adam and Eve, and dream of the Chapelle des Pénitents and its bell-wall reflected in the waters of the Dordogne. Nearby, you can board a gabare from May to October, to relive the epic story of the gabariers who sailed down to Libourne to deliver their loads of wood for the Bordeaux cooperage.

The Benedictine abbey was founded in the 9th century by Rodolphe de Turenne, Archbishop of Bourges. He installed monks from Solignac. In the early 12th century, the community became affiliated to the Cluny order. The majestic Limousin Romanesque edifice is built in pale ochre sandstone, according to the plans of a large monastic pilgrimage church. It is dominated by a dungeon bell tower. The abbey church is best known for its remarkable early 12th-century sculpted tympanum depicting the return of Christ at the end of time - the Parousia - with a majestic Christ in the center. The tympanum was carved by image carvers from Toulouse.

Together with the castle, the church was given to the Beaulieu monastery by its founder, Rodolphe de Turenne. Of Romanesque origin, it was destroyed at the same time as the castle around 1378 by Jean de Castelnau, who had 80 people burnt to death while in conflict with the abbot of Beaulieu. It offers a magnificent view over the valley. It was rebuilt in the 15th century. It features a canted sanctuary with prismatic ribs leading to a wooden ceiling. A two-bay chapel with Gothic arches, dedicated to Saint John, was added on the south side. In 1634, on the orders of the Bishop of Limoges, the altar belonging to the family of Jean de Canthony (founder of a vicarage in 1362), previously located in the nave, was transferred to this chapel. This vicarage gave this family ‘perpetual burial in front of the altar’. The square bell tower is covered.

Production of red and white Vin Paillé.

The chapel was built in the 12th century. After being partially damaged during the Hundred Years' War, it was restored thanks to a loan from a wealthy family. It was sold as national property during the French Revolution. In 1820, it was bought by the Pénitents bleus brotherhood. The brotherhood disappeared at the end of the 19th century, after having had a great influence on the town. The chapel's most striking feature is its magnificent five-bay bell tower. The chapel's chevet is simple, with a triplet of apsidioles and Limousin moldings.
