Au Périgord Noir, Hotel in Hautefort, France
Au Périgord Noir is a hotel with a restaurant in the village of Hautefort, in the Dordogne region of France. It has rooms in a traditional-style building, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden with seating, and a terrace where meals can be served.
Hautefort has been a settlement for centuries, centered around its castle, which was rebuilt and expanded at different points in its history. The hotel grew in this context, offering lodging to travelers passing through or visiting the area's historic sites.
The Périgord Noir area is known for its duck, truffles, and walnut-based dishes, and the hotel's restaurant reflects these local traditions on its menu. Dining here gives a direct introduction to regional flavors without having to search far.
The hotel sits just outside the center of Hautefort and is easiest to reach by car, with free parking available on site for both cars and coaches. One room is set up for guests with reduced mobility, and staff can communicate in English.
Near the hotel there is a museum dedicated to the history of medicine, which traces how medical practices changed over the centuries and is often overlooked by visitors focused on the castle. A cave with stalactites and stalagmites at Tourtoirac is also just a short drive away.
