When you think of France, you think of Paris, Provence, or Dordogne… and, if you think of Dordogne, then you think of Sarlat, probably the most famous town in the Dordogne area.
Sarlat has everything that you want a French town to have - an exquisite medieval city, an episcopal palace, an amazing cathedral, private estates, narrow streets and alleys, beautiful shops…
Sarlat has a very long history in clergy dominance and nobility influence over the last 800 or 900 years. I highly suggest you pick up a map at the Office du Tourisme and you start walking from one point of interest to the other. The history there is fascinating.
What I absolutely love in Sarlat is the café life… You see elegant patios everywhere - And each one is more beautiful. You don’t know if you should choose your restaurant based on how good the food smells or how chic the terrasse looks. So, be prepared to spend a lot of time making up your mind!
If you are not in a hurry, do make some time, at least half a day, better yet: one full day, to enjoy the town of Sarlat.
I cannot finish this video without saying that Sarlat is at the heart of Foie Gras, “Pate” as a lot of American people say - And truly, the word “Pate” does not bother me as much as it bothers the French people from France who probably know more than needed about processed goose and duck. In the center of the medieval town, just a small reminder that you are in… rich food country, let’s call it!
