| A member of the "Châteaux et
Hôtels de France" for a number of years, the Manoir
du Grand Vignoble near Bergerac in the Périgord region
is a hall built in the XVIIth century which has been renovated
and extended little by little into a charming hotel and restaurant.
The hotel has 44 rooms and suites. Decorated in a country-house,
traditional or modern style the are all spacious and open
onto the nearby woodland. The restaurant offers a style of
cooking which relates to the word Périgord, generous
and mouth-watering based on regional produce with some innovation
also. It can be enjoyed either in the winter garden under
the high beamed ceilings of the reception rooms or under shelter
in the garden.
The peaceful 45 ha estate also hosts a well-known equestrian
centre where adults and children, beginners and advanced riders,
enjoying practice or nature rides can find the activity and
the horse to suit their needs.
You will also find on site a heated swimming-pool, a tennis
court, a fitness room with sauna and Jacuzzi and since this
year a small golf range. Conference and function rooms all
adding up to create a unique place to unwind and relax in
this part of the Périgord region called Purple Périgord
to remind us the colour of the vine in autumn and the colour
of the local wines.
Further activities are on offer such as walks, excursions
on-site ( walks or bike rides ) nearby ( Bergerac and the
river Dordogne, visit to wine and foie gras producers ) or
up to Sarlat ( through an area full of castles and prehistoric
sites ) and Saint Emilion ( medieval city surrounded by some
of the most famous wine-producing estates in the world.
