Holiday rental in La Chapelle-Aubareil: Forests, Culture and Trails

La Chapelle-Aubareil is surrounded by extensive chestnut and oak forests. The area combines forest and valley views with historic features and regional offerings.

Forest Landscapes and Marked Trails

The Boucle de l’Albaroise is 10 km long and passes through woodland with a pond, forests and valleys. Its fixed length provides a concrete reference for planning the day without specifying a particular duration. The Boucle de la Turançonnaise offers views of the Manoir de l’Air. Those who wish to include woodland, a pond and valleys as landscape features in their plans will find them on the Albaroise; the Turançonnaise focuses on views of the Manoir de l’Air. Marked trails also offer panoramic views over the Vézère Valley. The routes therefore pass through clearly different landscapes. A day featuring the pond and woodland has a different character from a trail with views of the manor or the Vézère Valley. For visitors who want to include woodland, a valley panorama or views of the manor in their plans in La Chapelle-Aubareil, this distinction provides practical guidance.

Saint-Loup Church

Saint-Loup Church was built in the 17th century. Its doors are decorated with Maltese crosses and rosettes. The choir is oriented away from the sunrise.

Manoir de l’Air and Repaire du Bareil

The Manoir de l’Air is also called Manoir de Lher and dates from the 18th and 19th centuries. It consists of two building sections arranged at right angles. The Repaire du Bareil has been known since the 13th century. Of its ruins, only a 15th-century tower remains. Roman coins dating from 69 to 269 AD were also discovered archaeologically near La Sagne.

Fountains, Washhouses and La Sagne

There are at least 13 old fountains in La Chapelle-Aubareil. Several washhouses are located within the territory of La Chapelle-Aubareil. These include the washhouses at Les Moussaries and La Peyre, as well as the washhouse at the pumping station, which recall everyday life in times gone by.

Drumming Workshops and In-Depth Practice

Les Tambours de Jadhyane offers workshops on making your own drums. There are also introductory and in-depth drumming sessions, including drumming and trance workshops. Drum-making thus complements formats for beginners and for more advanced engagement with drumming. This creates a choice for planning the day between making a drum and the various practical sessions. In La Chapelle-Aubareil, the choice of format can be guided by the desired balance between a practical introduction to craftsmanship and deeper hands-on practice.
