3 Nights
The Place de la Bourse and lively streets of the Quartier Saint-Pierre are already behind you as you embark on a journey back through the ages. Travel back through time and storm the fortresses and châteaux of the Périgord region. Take a moment to contemplate the impressive architecture of the Art Nouveau train station in Limoges and the clifftop village of Rocamadour. The sumptuous Lascaux caves and their new design offer a chronological starting point. After being amazed by these historic tales, head for greener pastures and a country retreat. There you will discover the pleasures of a day’s fishing, a lunch in the forest and shadowing a truffle farmer as they hunt for the much-coveted ‘black diamond’.

Hotel and restaurant in a village. The Saint-James occupies buildings designed in 1989 by the famous architect Jean Nouvel. They nestle in the delightful little village of Bouliac, in a garden fragrant with lemon trees and antique roses. Inspired by the old tobacco drying lofts, four pavilions, linked by a gallery, create a modern pure space. Far away, you can see the Landes of Gascogne forest, the biggest collection of maritime pines in Europe. The gourmet cuisine is one of the major attractions of the Saint James: the chef serves cuisine which is full of flavour and based on local market ingredients, rounded off by the selection of wines from an outstanding cellar and panoramic views of Bordeaux. ...

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.

Hotel and restaurant in a vineyard. Staying in this 13th century château overlooking the Lot valley is a truly unique experience, an authentic immersion in the history of France during the Middle Ages. Built on a rocky promontory, this was the summer residence of the Counts and Bishops of Cahors for seven centuries. Today, the chef draws his inspiration from local producers, and has won an international reputation for working wonders with black Lalbenque truffles and Quercy lamb. The wine list includes the great Malbec wines and vintages produced in the château’s very own wine cellars, because before being the owner, Mr. Vigouroux was the wine grower. ... Learn moreless
