Le Vieux Logis is absolutely gorgeous, and while it is a bit to the west of some of the other towns popular with tourists in the Sarlat vicinity, it is located in a beautiful part of the region.

I would not hesitate to stay there. Hopefully, however, you will get some further input from those that know the area better than I do...

Macdogmom-
I, too, have stayed at Le Vieux Logis. It's a lovely hotel.
I didn't think the restaurant was as wonderful as the hotel but there were other options in town.
At the time we were there, a few years ago, they had for sale in the lobby a few amazing quilt pieces done by a local woman.
I visited her home where her daughter was able to translate.
The daughter traveled with Cirque du Soleil and brought fabrics from all all over the world for her mother to sew.
Quite remarkable.
I bought a few pieces and had one framed.
Should you come upon anymore of this fantastic quilting would you possibly let me know how to find the artist again?!

I hope this will revive this thread,because I had such a great time reading the back and forth by a bunch of foodies.........and great suggestions as well.How about an update??I have not been able to find recent posts listing many eating/food options:favorite restaurants;fermes;local cheeses;local wines to search out;favored epiceries.I hope some of the Fodorites who were part of the dialog then will come back on and share their latest finds.We will be in the Dordogne for 12 days in mid-April,and will carry all your finds with us.

Having followed eks on her foodie journeys in Piemonte, Italian Lakes and elsewhere, I cannot imagine how I missed this the first time around. Having it resurrected just as I am planning a May trip to Dordogne is perfect. Thanks for bringing it back up--and thanks, eks, for writing it in the first place.

Julie, thanks again. I thought of you while in Barcelona earlier this month.....I now fully understand why you have spent so much time there in the past few years. Without a doubt, it ranks with the best food cities on the planet!

I will be on the edge of my seat waiting for word of your adventures in FRance, and in Asia, later this year! Happy eating!

Great trip.
I am only going to be able to spend about 4 nights in Basque
country. Where you suggest to stay, so we could maybe do day
trips in the area.? Suggestions for Hotels, restaurants, sights.
Keeping your review.
Thanks

HI!

Please give the rest of your itinerary, and a price range, so we can offer useful suggestions on hotels and restaurants. Will you be driving?

Thanks so much for reviving this thread. I am devouring information on The Dordogne so your report was a good addition.
