SARLAT, FRANCE

We are in Sarlat, France.  Sarlat , is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Awuitaine in southwestern France.  The Dordogne river runs through this area of France.  Sarlat is a medieval town that developed around a large Benedictine abbey.  The medieval Sarlat Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Sacerdos.  Because modern history has largely passed it by, Sarlat has remained preserved and  one of the towns most representative of 14th century France.  The center of the old town consistes of well restored stone buildings and is largely car-free.


Here are some pics of Sarlat.
