Certainly, the Black Périgord is not just a gourmet’s paradise renown for truffles, penny bun cep mushrooms, foie gras and duck, strawberries and walnuts.

It is also the crossroad where pre-history and history compete with their treasures, a Land where Mankind has chosen to live since the mists of time and has left a heritage of exceptional master pieces, witness the Lascaux paintings and other pre-history sites classed Unesco World Heritage (caves and caverns), its thousand and one Castles, fortified Bastide towns, Gardens, Medieval cities and renown Vineyards.

Our Hotel overlooks Sarlat-La-Canéda, Town of Art and History.
