Choose between this extravagant gastronomic restaurant at a carefully converted water mill at the foot of the abbey, and its two sister bistros: Au Fil de l’Eau, specialising in fish, and Au Fil du Temps with traditional Périgordian roasted meats. At the main gourmet restaurant, terraces overlook the river, and 20 equally luxe rooms are on offer upstairs (rooms €205 to €425).
