Plan your visit to the restaurant La Chapelle Saint Martin

In a secluded meadow in our 40-hectare park, 10 colourful little homes stand in a line. Based on a long-term passion for the land, nature, and the fine produce it offers, we have established around ten beehives at La Chapelle Saint Martin, with a view to preserve our park's biodiversity and to contribute to developing its vegetation. Now, almost 500,000 foraging bees set to work every day to produce a sweet, multi-floral honey which has the unique taste of our region. Guided by our beekeeper Laurent and myself, I invite you to share a "happy-culture" moment. Equipped with the appropriate clothing, you will discover how the beehive is organised and the role of the queen; you will see how the colony lives, and learn where the pollen, honey, and wax are stored... The bees are harmless, and if they sense that you are in awe of their work, they will let you observe them for several minutes. Come and enjoy the happy-culture experience, which is both fun and educational!

"Happy-Culture" by Gilles Dudognon

Overlooking the woodland of La Chapelle Saint Martin park, Gilles & Henri Dudognon's gourmet restaurant offers a unique setting. His dishes are both an expression of the terroir and the culinary know-how that's distinct to the region. Even the creative plateware enhances the Limousin produce offered to guests.

La Chapelle Saint Martin Restaurant

Escape from everyday life and discover a place beyond belief where time is a mere afterthought. Embark on a unique culinary experience that truly awakens the senses. Delight in a simple, natural and surprising cuisine in which flavour is paramount. At Jardin Extraordinaire, exception is cultivated using only the best products of the region: vegetables direct from the garden, meat from the Limousin and more. Poetry, fantasy and imagination playfully infuse every detail  on the plate, of course, but also in the magnificent Eiffel structure, the giant rhubarb leaves and the servers dressed as gardeners.

Le Jardin Extraordinaire

Food is often associated with certain preferences, our tastes, in our minds. It is reminiscent of a mother, an uncle-motions, smells, the warmth of an oven, an ever burning hearth. In a unique setting brimming with history, we are but conveyors of cuisine from before our time, respecting the methods that came before us. Forget the clock. To the hearth, it is!

La Table du Couvent

Just outside Limoges, there is a peaceful haven where the lush vegetation is at its most beautiful. Time seems to stand still at La Chapelle Saint-Martin, where guests can step back in time and experience what life in the private residence of this 19th century porcelain manufacturer would have been like. Those who are partial to a beautiful landscape will instantly fall in love with the chapel surrounded by 35 hectares of 200 year-old trees. The surrounding countryside is delightful, and the grounds, ponds and old dock are the perfect place for quiet contemplation. While the house and gardens are historic, the inspirational cuisine is refreshingly modern.

La Chapelle Saint-Martin

Plan your stay at La Chapelle Saint-Martin

The quality of the waters of the Vienne River and the pastures that favored the rearing of cows, lambs and kids have sustained a leather and hide industry in the region since the 11th century. In Saint-Junien, traditional tanners have developed a unique know-how that has been perpetuated over time. It is in the city's leather goods and glove-making workshops that the most beautiful pieces are made for the great French luxury goods manufacturers such as Hermès, Dior and Chanel. During your visit to the Daguet or Agnelle workshop boutiques, don't miss the opportunity to treat yourself to a belt or a pair of gloves made in France. In Limoges, the J.M. Weston factory has been making shoes according to traditional shoemaking know-how since 1891. Each handcrafted pair takes two months to produce, from selecting and cutting the leather, stitching the upper, and cutting the sole, to their assembly and hand finishing. Although visits to the factory are only available to a few privileged customers, you can still take advantage of your stay to purchase one of the iconic models of the brand, such as their famous moccasin, or leather goods from older collections at preferential prices.

Limousin, a historic leather center

This pure white, almost translucent material has made Limoges famous all over the world. White gold has fascinated visitors for over 200 years. Friend and cook to the best porcelain makers, Chef Dudognon opens the doors to the last renowned factories in operation. Discover the prestigious Maison Bernardaud and meet the talented Sylvie Coquet. To deepen your knowledge, the Musée National Adrien Dubouché offers the opportunity to relive centuries of porcelain-making tradition from France and throughout the world. If you're feeling creative, get your brushes at the ready and ask for a lesson in painting on porcelain: like Dalí, Castelbajac, and Carven, why not create your own Limoges porcelain service? If you're worried about lacking in inspiration, stroll through the corridors of our property! Admire the porcelain works along the way and give in to the charms of the porcelain teapot collection at our bistro, Le 27 restaurant.

A creative escape in porcelain country

The martyred village of Oradour-sur-Glane is a site of remembrance that still bears the scars of the terrible massacre of its inhabitants. On June 10, 1944, the SS Das Reich Division brutally murdered 642 men, women, and children, and burned the village to the ground. To preserve the memory of this tragic event, the village has been preserved as it was left in 1944. The visit invites silence and remembrance. We then encourage you to explore the Museum of Resistance housed in the former convent of the Sisters of Providence in Limoges. The museum retraces the historical events of World War II marked by occupation and deportation, and highlights the acts of resistance carried out in Haute-Vienne.
