Sarlat is a lovely little town in the Dordogne (Perigord) region of southwest France, a well-preserved but lively medieval town, a good location from which to explore the region's highlights: caves, canoe trips, duck farms, nearbly charming towns.
Frankly, Paul took so many great photos of Sarlat, it was hard to choose photos, but here are some.
On Saturday, the town of Sarlat turns into a market town, selling vegetables and fruits, cheeses, foie gras, bread, local wine, and walnut cakes, as well as handbags and clothing and souvenirs. Paul and I bought bread, ham, and cheese, as well as delicious small "Charlotte" strawberries for our picnic the next day.
On the last of our three nights in Sarlat, they had a festival of 10,000 candles, lighting up the narrow streets and winding lanes of the town. Charmant! and utterly magical.
