The story
In the heart of the Périgord region, near the villages of Lalinde and Trémolat, Le Vieux Logis occupies a former agricultural estate that has been a member of Relais & Châteaux since 1955. This family-run establishment, a 4-star hotel and restaurant, is set within a cluster of historic buildings: a main house, an old farmstead, and the most distinctive space of all—the gourmet restaurant, housed in what was once a tobacco drying shed.
The atmosphere is one of authentic charm and understated elegance. The property is surrounded by the landscapes that inspired Henry Miller, who famously wrote that the Dordogne would survive even if France ceased to exist. It is an ideal base for exploring the region's medieval castles, decorated caves, and typical villages, but the restaurant itself is a destination.
The restaurant at Le Vieux Logis has been recognized with a Michelin star for its high-quality cooking. The cuisine is modern in approach, drawing on the rich culinary traditions of the Périgord. While the menu changes with the seasons, the kitchen's focus is on refined, precise flavors that showcase the best local ingredients. The setting within the historic séchoir à tabac adds a unique, atmospheric backdrop to the meal.
Beyond the gourmet restaurant, the property also offers more casual dining options, including Le Bistrot and Les Tartines etc., allowing guests to experience the kitchen's talent in a variety of ways. For those seeking a truly memorable meal in the Dordogne, the Michelin-starred experience at Le Vieux Logis is a testament to the region's enduring appeal and culinary excellence.
