Orée du bois, Restaurant in Thenon, France
Orée du Bois is a restaurant in Thenon, in southwestern France, set at the edge of a wooded area and able to seat around 70 guests. It has an indoor dining room and an outdoor terrace, along with a bar and a small snack area.
The restaurant is part of a larger property that grew over time to include chalets and meeting rooms alongside the dining offer. The area around Thenon has long been a quiet corner of the Périgord, known for its woodland and farming traditions.
The name "Orée du Bois" means "edge of the woods" in French, which directly describes the setting of the place. The terrace, open in warm weather, lets guests eat outside with trees just a few steps away.
The restaurant is easy to reach by car, with a parking area on site, and it is a short drive from the center of Thenon. Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially on weekends or during local high season.
The property also has rooms set up for seminars and group meetings, making it a rare spot in this rural area for work gatherings away from the city. Chef Patrick Savignac sources ingredients locally, so the menu shifts noticeably from one season to the next.
