Staying Awhile - Sarlat la Caneda

Beautifully preserved medieval and Renaissance buildings, foodie paradise, and our base for the next week or so.

Our accommodation is in the centre of the old town, an 'attic' apartment in a 500 year old building. We're a stone's throw from the cathedral and our bedroom window is level with the 7.00am good morning church bells.

Sarlat absolutely oozes charm ... market squares, cobbled streets, narrow lanes, inner courtyards, and very few tourists at this time of year. There are quaint restaurants and bistros offering regional gastronomic specialties, including duck, goose, foie gras, truffles, and walnut wine (consumed as an aperitif).

Looking forward to exploring the region.Read more
