What a splendid spot! The River Dordogne meanders at the foot of this superb château set in a formal garden and grounds. The panoramic view from the terrace will take your breath away. The dining room is similarly stunning: marble floors, wall hangings, coffered ceiling and carved wooden fireplace. Stéphane Andrieux has been running the show for almost 25 years, rolling out a polished culinary lineup. Examples include roast Quercy lamb (fillet and rack), flanked with carrot tortellini and soy seasoning or a delicate shortbread of strawberry and meadowsweet, signed Marc Jean, house pastry chef since 1995.
