Walk in Aubazine
Known for its rich heritage and its many walks, Aubazine is also a mecca for monastic life.
Nestled in the Dordogne Valley, this pretty little village is home to a 12th-century Cistercian abbey and its famous Canal des Moines.
Spend a few hours here for a stroll.
Start your visit with the Cistercian abbey of Aubazine, which served as an orphanage at the beginning of the 20th century.
One of its most famous residents was Gabrielle Chanel, better known as Coco Chanel. It was within these walls that the famous seamstress learned to handle a needle throughout her adolescence.
Guided tours are organized throughout the year. Then head to the Abbey Church of the former monastery topped with a unique octagonal bell tower in the Limousin style.
Continue your walk through the village streets by taking the heritage trail to discover the history of Aubazine.
Several walks are available to you thanks to the many footpaths.
Head to the Puy de Pauliac orientation table perched at 524 meters where the panorama is breathtaking with its Cromlech.
You can also walk along the Canal des Moines, an exceptional 12th century work of art, built by the monks of the abbey, or go in search of the Lac de Miel in Beynat on the discovery trail.
A few steps from the historic center, the Le Quercy hotel offers 50 spacious rooms and suites for you to relax in.
Each room is equipped with:
● a private bathroom with shower
● free Wi-Fi
● a King Size double bed
● air conditioning
● a flat-screen TV
● a courtesy tray
● a Nespresso coffee machine
● a safe
● a hairdryer
● an office space
You can even travel with your pet.
During your stay, you can also enjoy the delicious buffet breakfast served on weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and on weekends until 10 a.m.
How can you resist the homemade brioche from an artisan bakery or the pastries and muffins, not to mention the farm yogurts produced 10 km from the hotel! If you prefer salty food, try our röstis accompanied by cold meats and cheese.
