A legend pretends that when God distributed his castles, he started by the Loire Valley. Going far away from there, his bag burst over the Dordogne River and the Perigord region dotting the countryside with countless castles. Well over a hundred to be exact, many still lived in.
Dordogne is ancient France and remains a preserved area, removed from the bustle of any big cities. Its fairly tale scenery with ancient fortresses and timeless villages make this a land of happily ever after for those who call it home. Food lover will know that Dordogne as the land of loosen-your-belt-buckle. Dordogne is famous for its foie gras, duck, cheese, wine, wild mushrooms, game and nuts. It is a region steeped in history and rich is traditions that are celebrated year round in the tiny streets of this unique corner of fairy tale France.
Food lovers will know that Dordogne is one of the most celebrated regions in France. Much has been written about great food and wine in France and specifically from Dordogne, Walnuts appeared in the Cro Magnon man's diet and were traded like gold until the thirteenth century. From gateau aux noix, vin de noix, to the toasty walnut oil drizzled on salads, the walnut remains a key ingredient to many superb dishes. Along with the old-world tradtions, inventive new cuisine is arriving with more emphasis on seafood from the coast and the river's fresh water fish. The celebrated duck and truffle still reign supreme, however many contemporary twists have arrived. Our menus highlight both.
