Manoir d ´Hautegente * * *

Fishing aficionadoes have a 2 km private fishing beat on a Class 1 river at their disposal, while sunworshippers can linger by the pool.

Restaurant:

A number of dining areas are open each night for you to enjoy fine gourmet dinners. And what better way to end the day than by sipping a remarkable vintage armagnac by the fire, lit in the old drawing room.

In the summer, the riverside terrace allows you to dream at the foot of the ancient mill or take advantage of the warm, star-filled evening as you enjoy a memorable candlelit dinner along the luscious flower beds.

The Shop:

At the Manoir d'Hautegente you can buy a full range of regional produce prepared using entirely traditional Périgordian methods.

- Foie gras

- Cooked dishes

The Perigord region corresponds to the region close by the capitale city Perigueux of the department Dordogne. The Perigord, rich and fertile country, is densely forested and crisscrossed by rivers flowing from the plateau of the Massif Central out to the Atlantic. Of these, the Dordogne has carved out through the center a beautiful winding valley of gentle greenery. Many Stone Age relics and caves have been found here dating from around 20,000 years ago. In the village markets, the fruit and vegetables, nuts, and mushrooms of every description bear witness to the region's self-sufficiency in food.
