LOCAL ACIVITIES
Lazily drifting down the Dordogne river in your own canoe, passing Chateaux, Bastides & medieval villages as you go is not to be Missed. Take your own picnic & stop off at one of the many beaches along the river, or pull in for a gourmet meal at a restaurant. For those of you feeling a bit more energetic, join a bike tour & see the leafy lanes & valleys. Hot air ballooning & micro-lighting flights can be organised locally for the more adventurous amongst you. There is a 'Tree Adventure Park' near by, which is a great place to go with a group of kids & adults alike. There are also the many local caves including Lascaux & Font de Gaume at les Eyzies with their Prehistoric paintings for you to visit. Sarlat itself offers many free attractions, especially during the summer months, including open air street theatre, acrobats, musicians, art exhibitions, concerts & firework displays.
There are many festivals, fairs & markets throughout the year. From mid July & throughout August there is a Music & Drama Festival in Sarlat with open air concerts & plays, street entertainment & busking musicians, who will amuse & delight you for all for free. Try the summer Night Markets & Gourmet Feast Days where it is possible to try the food from the region, watch it being cooked before you then sit & enjoy with a glass of local wine in the open air dining areas. During the autumn & winter months you can visit the Truffle markets & search for the famous Cepe mushrooms which grow in abundance in the fertile Dordogne region. In the village markets the fruit & vegetables, nuts & mushrooms of every description bear witness to the region's self-sufficiency in food.
