Why Sarlat Old Town matters
Sarlat's old town is a maze of honey-coloured stone houses and lanes. A Saturday market fills the streets with walnuts, truffles and duck. At night the lanes are lit warmly. Walk the lanes at dusk when the golden stone glows and the day-trippers have left.
Talking points
- Houses are built of golden limestone.
- The Saturday market is big.
- Foie gras and walnuts are local specialities.
