Castles
|
| All along the Dordogne valley,
there are sites and castles, such as the castles of Monfort, Beynac and
Castelnaud, that all reflect the region’s history. They will take you from the beginning of
humanity through to the Gallo-Roman era and onto Christianity. The Périgord
offers you a complete picture of the evolution of architecture.

Sarlat
|
|
In the
heart of the Périgord Noir, the Black Périgord, is the medieval town of Sarlat.
With the highest number of classified historical buildings per square metre in
Europe, it is has been given the title ‘Ville d’Art et
d’Histoire’.
Sarlat has
often been used for film shoots and
houses several art festivals.
Its
colourful Saturday market is a must. Discover the pedestrian circuit through the
old part of town at the tourist office, as it is such a pretty, romantic walk.
