Le canard a trois pattes is situated 16 km from the historic town of Sarlat, in the heart of the Périgord Noir. This unique project is the inspiration of brother and sister Helgi and Greet Decreus and artist Armand Van Lierde. They bought this 15th century "Périgourdine" in 2000, and working with architect Eddy Francois, completely restored the main house, fitting it with every comfort and convenience. The objective was to achieve a symbiosis of contemporary architecture, design and art, while retaining the historic character of the manoir. The result is a lyrical melding of beauty and tranquillity, forming an ideal setting for a break away from it all.
