Gourmet Restaurant

Opened by the Blanchet family nearly fifty years ago, the Hostellerie des Ducs has become a fixture in Lot-et-Garonne, just north of Marmande. Jean-François Blanchet, the son of the founding generation, now runs the inn with his wife Marie-Christine and their son Vincent. The hospitality remains as warm as ever, and the kitchen delivers a wonderful interpretation of local flavors: duck foie gras terrine, roasted turbot steak, summer vegetable compote, Lot-et-Garonne saffron sauce, a leg of lamb confit for seven hours with spring vegetables, an Armagnac savarin, Armagnac prunes, and ice cream.
