Hotel l'Esplanade Domme.



This well run traditional establishment has a truly magnificent view of a huge horseshoe bend of the Dordogne river. The rooms are well fitted out, some of them are quite large. The restaurant serves a hearty cuisine with strong accents of the Midi. A double in the offseason costs about $120. Domme is a walled village made up of mostly stone houses. It is at the heart of the Perigord and the specialty of the region, duck and goose foie gras is sold in every other shop. Some farms where the fowl are raised may be visited and you can also buy direct from the producer, but I should warn the animal lovers among you that the force feeding of the fowl is not a pretty sight. PETA, at any rate, does not seem a major force in France.
