THE SITE

The cultural and gastronomic reputation of the "Périgord" is very rich. It is the area of the truffles and of the " thousand castles", marked by history.
The workshop is being held half an hour from the town of Périgueux, between the peaceful valleys of "Vern" and "Lisle". Accomodations are in a renovated, beautiful, old mansion dating back from the 17th century. The estate contains a beautiful forest with trails. A swimming pool is at our disposal.
