Sarlat
Sarlat-la-Canéda,
The town of Sarlat is in a region known in France as the Périgord Noir. The Périgord is known for its walnuts, fois gras and Bergerac wine.
Sarlat is a medieval town that developed around a large Benedictine abbey of Carolingian origin. The medieval Sarlat Catherdral is dedicated to Saint Sacerdos.
Sarlat is one of the most attractive and alluring towns in southwestern France.
Several Hollywood movies were shot here.
I must say it is worth the visit.


View from our room
Enormous doors

Inside a cute little market
Imagine the hinges on these doors


Biggest piece of glass I have ever seen, dont know how they made it or got it up there


Town center
A bit rainy today


These guys are every where


Love these little streets


Guy with lots of chairs

Loved the shop signs

This is a fantastic idea, take a book or leave one


Tatiana's favorite ride
She gets it and wins a free ride

Cool menu
A witch shop

Beautiful slate roof

This is fois gras land

Of course a meal isnt complete with out the cheese

Went to this restaurant recommended to us by our hotel. Steaks brought on a steaming hot piece of slate. You cook it to your liking. Was the most tender meat we have ever had!
