Guide of the Dordogne

Travel Guide > France > Aquitaine > Dordogne > Sarlat-la-Canéda

Situated in the heart of the Black Périgord, Sarlat-la-Canéda is an essential place to visit for the architecture fans. Its medieval old town is the perfect place to wander around with its maze of picturesque narrow streets and Gothic and Renaissance mansions, such as the Plamon mansion, the Magnanat mansion, and the Vassal mansion. The Saturday market is particularly lively and should not be missed!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Here is a timbered house where the roof slope is very steep: this indicates that the structure was meant to carry a blanket slate (stone typical of the region of Perigord black). We can see in this picture, the bottom few rows of slate roof have been preserved.
