Holiday apartment in La Bachellerie between the hiking trail and valley views

A 10.1 km hiking trail starts at Place du 30 mars 1944. It passes through the hamlets of Chastel, Mirabel, Madeleine and La Genèbre, and then continues through the village streets. Its specific length makes it easier to plan your own day without committing to a particular walking time.

From the hills around La Bachellerie, you can look out over the Cern Valley. The Cern flows into the Vézère to the east. For anyone who wants to take in the landscape in its wider context while hiking, this provides a clear connection between the hills and the valley.

Protected heritage in La Bachellerie

The Chartreuse des Fraux is fully protected; this protection also covers its outbuildings, wall and two gateways. La Bachellerie’s local heritage also includes fountains, washhouses and bread ovens. The bread oven at La Brauge has been completely restored and is part of La Bachellerie’s small heritage sites.

The Château de Rastignac also provides a clear connection to architectural and monument history: it is partly classified as a historic monument. The protected elements include the façades, roofs, outbuildings and park.

Wine, farm produce and an introduction to beekeeping
