About Bellevue Chopin
Bellevue Chopin, located at the base of Morne Canotte, is renowned for its strong focus on Community Tourism and organic agriculture. Accessed via the Bellevue Chopin Main Road, the village plays a pivotal role in Dominica’s agricultural landscape, hosting several farms that emphasise environmentally conscious methods. The community is particularly noted for its Bellevue Chopin Organic Farmers Group, which showcases a variety of produce and offers tours that educate visitors about sustainable farming practices and the local flora. During Dominica’s Hurricane Season of 2015, Tropical Storm Erika hit Petite Savanne and wreaked much havoc; the Dominica Government relocated most displaced people to Bellevue Chopin, where houses were built for them.
