Restaurants
The Dordogne region is nicknamed “Royaume de la gueule,” or “kingdom of the mouth.” The Lot and Corrèze regions also know how to enjoy good food. We can advise you on the many restaurants in the area, with and without Michelin stars. Something for everyone.

Walnut Route
There’s a special walnut route from Salignac to Beynac, where you can admire the walnut in all its facets. The walnut route makes one thing clear: nothing of the fruit is wasted. In spring, the leaves are used to make an extract for walnut wine, the green nuts are used in walnut jam or vinegar, the green skins in eau-de-vie, and the nuts themselves…in everything. There are several walnut mills nearby where you can watch the walnut oil production process.
Wine Routes
In the surrounding area (60 to 90 km), you can explore the vineyards of Cahors (Lot), Bergerac (Dordogne), and the Corrèze. The wine region around Cahors is known for its “vin noir”; full-bodied, deep red wines. At the Bergerac wine estates, you can find, among other things, the sweet dessert wines of Monbazillac. The special and lesser-known wine from the Corrèze region is the so-called “vin paillé,” better known in other regions of France as “vin de paille.” The grapes are dried on straw, hence the name “straw wine.” Naturally, we serve regional wines at La Panacée.
