The Town

Sarlat’s old quarters are built from the golden stone characteristic of many of the Dordogne’s towns. Strolling through them feels like stumbling into the pages of The Da Vinci Code – they are a labyrinth of lanes, passageways, courtyards and cul-de-sacs. Hidden chapels lie at the end of narrow corridors, alleys lead in unexpected directions before meeting dead-ends, and streets intertwine, looping round to meet their starting points or opening out into concealed squares. Even the stonework hides coded mysteries: medieval characters, coats of arms, Templar symbols, allegorical mottoes and a menagerie of mythical beasts.

Sarlat Market - Between Gourmet Food and Art De Vivre

Sarlat Market dates back to Medieval times and is famous throughout the region.

A Sarlat market is held twice a week in the old town. Wednesday mornings and Saturday until around 1pm. Truffles, renowned Gariguette strawberries and Bergerac Wines are only a few of the offerings. Among farmer’s produce and regional products, the markets of Sarlat are not to be missed for a taste of the specialities of the Périgord!

Not To Be Missed
