Gastronomy is certainly no slouch in Sarlat. You will have the opportunity to judge yourself, by heading to the Square « Liberte » which is the nerve center of the famous market of Sarlat.
Search also the Saint Sacerdos cathedral, which shows the religious significance of Sarlat at the time of monastic lordship. Sarlat, in all battles, will be both protected by the castles of Beynac and Castelnaud, and also serve as weapon hiding, armed personnel reserve and food stock. The beautiful town of Sarlat is not exempted from the hands of the English, from which it gets rid by rallying to the King of France. This only lasts a time, as attacks are multiplied, and Sarlat finds himself besieged several times. Today Sarlat is an indisputable national example of conservation of the built heritage that has defied all forms of modernization.
