Le Vieux Logis Restaurant

Gourmet treasure hunt in the Périgord

The quest for truffles is not for the uninitiated. The preferred terrain and methods of locating the precious mushroom are well-kept secrets. Get up at dawn to tread through grass still covered with morning frost. Édouard will be waiting for you with his dog Lino, one of the best truffle dogs in the region. As the sun's rays dissipate the morning mists, the first truffles emerge from the ground right before your astonished eyes. You will learn to observe the signs that reveal the presence of the tuber melanosporum, and quickly develop a taste for this wonderful treasure hunt. You will prolong the experience by visiting the Sainte-Alvère truffle market, where you’ll discover a completely different atmosphere. And because in the Périgord, a good day always ends with a meal and a glass of wine, we’ll be waiting for you back at the Vieux Logis where you’ll enjoy a tasty black truffle snack.
