Sarlat and the most beautiful villages of Périgord

With its medieval charm, the capital of the Dordogne boasts the label 'City of art and history' '.

Once left the market and squares illuminated by the white stone, we get lost in a maze of alleys that deploy treasures of architecture: mansions, corbels ... At nightfall, the city is revealed by the light magic still powered streetlights of natural gas.

The meanders of the Dordogne valley are dominated by castles as Beynac or Castelnaud, and romantic hanging gardens of Marqueyssac. We will not miss the most beautiful villages in the country salardais: La Roque-Gageac, squeezed between the Dordogne and the cliff Domme romantic alleys, and, somewhat aloof, the walled medieval city of Belvès.

It will linger in the Perigord to furrow its markets to gourmet stalls: foie gras, geese, ceps, truffles, nuts, honey or chestnuts ... A true land of plenty!
