Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, an ancient medieval town and the strawberry capital of the Dordogne region
Fancy a peaceful getaway? Welcome to Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, in the south of Corrèze! Nicknamed the “Limousin Riviera”, this medieval village invites you to savour its gentle way of life. Stroll through its cobbled streets lined with turreted houses, walk along the Dordogne where the Pénitents bell tower is reflected, then let yourself be charmed by Saint-Pierre Abbey, a Romanesque gem famous for its tympanum. And to finish off, try the famous Beaulieu strawberries!
