Introducing Sarlat-la-Canéda

Nestled at the bottom of a sheltered valley, Sarlat-la-Canéda is one of the most attractive medieval towns in France. It’s certainly one of the best-restored – a maze of cobbled alleyways, unexpected cul-de-sacs and snaking lanes, hemmed in by the town’s distinctive honey-bricked buildings and elegant mansions. Unsurprisingly, it’s also hugely popular, and the summer crowds can take the shine off things. Sarlat makes an excellent base for exploring the prehistoric sites of the Vézère Valley.
