Accommodation
Driven by this notion of balance, the philosophy of the Domaine des Etangs is built around an Art of Life reconnected to Nature. The Domaine, which evolves following the cycle of seasons, covers 2,500 acres of preserved Nature, offering its guests moments of connection in a haven that embraces the essential and dazzles the senses.
The forests, their fauna and flora, interrelate with the farmed fields and with the largest herd of Limousin cattle in France, renowned for its genetic heritage. The spiral-shaped vegetable garden, which supplies the restaurant, thrives throughout the year, the ponds mirror the sky in motion, revealing the stars at night. The traveller discovers a world between the Sky and the Earth which is not solely residential but also attuned to Nature.
Restaurants
Dyades
A dyad is a meeting of two complementary principles and elements. Our kitchen strives to achieve that ideal each day, reaching a beautiful and delicious harmony. Our ingredients don’t travel far—they’re sourced directly from the estate’s organic garden and local producers. (The estate’s commitment to sustainability and permaculture has been recognized with two Ecotable awards.) Our menu changes with the seasons, making use of long-standing regional cooking traditions so that each dish reflects the landscape and the people that make the Limousin region so exceptional
The Potage
Our alluring 21,527 sq. ft. vegetable garden is a cornucopia of color, fragrance, and flavor. If you’ve got a green thumb, join the Domaine gardener on a guided tour through this spiral-shaped wonderland, where they’ll introduce you to the ins and outs of a working kitchen garden. Its bounty—herbs, edible flowers, root vegetables, leafy greens, stem vegetables, and fruit—supplies Dyades, so the plants you admire in the afternoon can be enjoyed on your plate in the evening. Because of our farm-to-table ethos, we adhere strictly to all-organic produce and practices. Learn more about these, and the principles of permaculture, on this in-depth tour. And end the afternoon with a blind tasting of some of our favorite hand-raised aromatic plants.
