Villages of Perigord

Roam through the“Town of a Hundred Monuments”

Built in a hollow site, Sarlat is dominated by the imposing outline of Saint Sacerdos

gothic cathedral, situated on the Place du Peyrou. Right beside, the Place de la Liberté

, where numerous markets are held all year round, is the heart and soul of the town.

There’s a viewfromthe esplanade, on theTownHall’s elegant arcades andSaint-Marie’s

Church, tastefully converted into an indoor market. Around the famous GooseMarket

Square

, the Hotel de Vassal and Gisson Manor

, form an admirable ensemble

linked by a sturdy tower. Wander around the maze of quaint narrow streets from the

Fountain Court

, to the monumental Saint Claire’s Abbey, Rue des Consuls, and two

of Sarlat’s most exquisite townhouses, Hotel Plamon and Hotel de Vienne.

For best dining, take a seat at the highly

recommended Presidial

. The restaurant

run by Manuel Da Silva Costa, is set in an

imposing XVIth century listed building,

once the seat of the royal court of justice!

On the menu: part-cooked duck foie-gras

terrine, roasted duck confit and for dessert,

citrus fruit crème brulée. For another tasty

stopover serving classic homemade dishes,

try l’Esprit Sarlat

, an attractive modern

Brasserie, opened in 2014.
