Saint-Céré & Dordogne Valley
Welcome to the Dordogne Valley, between Haut-Quercy and Périgord.

Staying at the Logis Hôtel Le Victor Hugo, you will have the opportunity to explore the remarkable architectural heritage of Saint-Céré, its old houses, its private mansions, and its charming Place du Mercadial, a listed historical monument, adorned with a fountain and surrounded by picturesque stone and half-timbered houses. Near its old town stand the Saint-Laurent Towers (12th and 15th centuries), remnants of the former castle of the Viscounts of Turenne.
