Because all seasons are ideal for discovering the Périgord, come and enjoy the Indian summer in Sarlat by staying at the emblematic Hotel Plaza Madeleine.

Much more than a simple hotel, this 4-star property will seduce you with its opulent decor, a welcoming team, and many additional services such as room service, the cocktail bar or the spa complex with a heated swimming pool, a solarium and a wellness area (hammam, sauna and jacuzzi) for a relaxing stay in Périgord.

If you are putting France on the top of your list for this summer, don’t settle only for Paris, the south-west has so much more to offer! Large and hilly green spaces as far as the eye can see, the Périgord will seduce you with many outdoor activities! The visits are endless – from regional markets, panoramic gardens à la Française, prehistoric caves and museums, to medieval and renaissance castles – there is definitely something for every taste! And that is not to mention the countless walking, biking or kayaking tours you can enjoy in the region.

Today, I would like to suggest you one of my favourite festive place to enjoy summer in Périgord: Eyrignac & its gardens

Located on the heights of the hills of Eyrignac, only 15 minutes away from Sarlat, this extensive property – including historic monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries, surrounded by sculpted gardens – welcomes nature lovers all year round. 

The Festive Season is officially open!

This year, Sarlat invites you to discover its Christmas market through the magical universe of Lapland, where Santa is carefully preparing the long list of gifts to be distributed end of the month.

From the snowy roundabouts with polar bears to its extensive lighting decorations on the pedestrian streets, you definitely need to pay a visit to this charming old town, when the sunset lets appear Santa through a play of light and shadow.
