Le Vieux Logis

Le Vieux Logis is a historic 4-star Relais & Châteaux house in Trémolat, Dordogne, set in an old agricultural domain. The family-rooted property has been a Relais & Châteaux member since 1955 and evolved from a private manor into a 25-room estate with gardens, seminar rooms and period renovations that preserve the character of the place. Its gastronomic restaurant holds one Michelin star. The restaurant occupies a former tobacco-drying shed of stone and painted wood. Terrace service takes place under linden trees overlooking a formal French garden, and the overall vibe is elegant, authentic and intimate. The cuisine revisits traditional Périgord dishes with modernised, generous preparations and a focus on seasonal produce. It relies predominantly on regional products sourced directly from local producers. Vincent Arnould is the restaurant’s chef, has led it for twenty years, and was named Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2007. Specialties include warm lobster salad with tomato and piccalilli; roasted pigeon breast with giblet jus and chestnut-flour pasta; black Périgord truffle; foie gras; duck from the region; and ceps (wild mushrooms).
