Brantôme star star : The Michelin guide review

Brantôme, attractively situated on the banks of the Dronne, boasts an eclectic mix of Romanesque and Renaissance architecture. The abbots overseeing its abbey included Pierre de Bourdeilles, a former chamberlain to Charles IX in the 16C. This chronicler, better known as Brantôme, came here to find the peace and tranquillity he needed to write his famous Vies des hommes illustres et des grands capitaines (Lives of Illustrious Men and Great Leaders).

    Le Terminus Comfortable restaurant 

    3 pl. de la Gare F - 16000 Angoulême

    A good spot opposite the station. This contemporary brasserie celebrates regional cuisine and of course fresh seafood from the Atlantic. Try the sea bass tartare with fresh coriander or red mullet roasted in anchovy tapenade.

    Le Grain de Sel Comfortable restaurant 

    7 r. des Farges F - 24000 Périgueux

    This restaurant is in a small street in the old town of Périgueux, close to the cathedral. The setting would be rustic were it not for the modern furniture. An abundance of seafood and delicate flavours.
