L'Orangerie Château des Reynats 4*

In beautiful grounds 5km from historic Périgueux, the delightful 19th century L'Orangerie Château des Reynats with its outdoor pool (June-Aug), has a bistro as well as a Michelin starred restaurant (closed Jan) that serves typical Périgord cuisine. Before dinner you can have a drink on one of the pretty flower-decked terraces or take a stroll around the lovely gardens. For the more energetic there is a tennis court, or an 18 hole golf course close by after which you could take advantage of the hotel gym, sauna and steam room or relax in the relaxation pool with hydromassage jets and counter-current swimming.

The majority of bedrooms are in the 3* Orangerie pavilion, 50m from the château.

Bustling Périgueux, capital of the beautiful Dordogne, has a history dating back 2000 years and is really two towns in one - medieval and Roman. It lies in a fertile valley along the river Isle and has much to discover amongst its fascinating streets, charming old quarter and sunny squares. A visit to the tourist office on arrival will ensure that you don't miss anything as there are plenty of interesting historical buildings and sites of interest to see, in particular the multi-domed cathedral and the Vesunna Roman Museum which contains an excavated Roman house and is a truly fascinating experience. There is also a very good twice weekly farmers market where you can buy local specialities including truffle and foie gras.
