Sarlat

After visiting La Roque-Gageac, we spent the night in Sarlat-la-Caneda.  Sarlat has a beautiful town centre, restored to be representative of 14th century France.  The streets in the centre are dedictaed to pedestrian walkways, though most of them are too narrow for cars anyway.

We ate a delicious dinner and explored the streets a bit.

This is the alley that led from the closest car park to our hotel.  The buildings in Sarlat are incredible and really give you a sense of living in history.

I find something about doorways to be fascinating.  I’m not sure where this one led, but I couldn’t resist taking a picture of it.

This is the view out of our hotel room window.  I went wandering about town after the kids went to sleep and happened across a classical music concert inside the Sarlat Cathedral.  It was incredibly moving to listen to the talented quintet play music in such an amazing building.

I think we could have spent quite a bit more time in Sarlat.  The Saturday market was just getting setup as River and I ventured out to get breakfast and coffee.  Instead, though, we went to explore some of France’s amazing prehistorical sites.
