Dordogne and the Vézère

The Dordogne flows through one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of France. This region offers a favourable climate, wonderful scenery and a fine gastronomic tradition. Our base is in the village of Le Bugue, where our hotel occupies a scenic location overlooking the River Vézère, a terrific place in which to relax and from which to explore the Dordogne and Vézère Valleys.
