We have created a lovely private town house from which you can stroll to the gourmet restaurants in Sarlat.

Sarlat is a small medieval town of exceptional beauty with its narrow winding streets, stone roofs and medieval and renaissance architecture. You will be mesmerized by over 1000 years of art and architecture at every turn, all accessible within 10 minutes on foot from your Sarlat holiday home. And the beauty of our location is that you can sit in the garden enjoying the pool or having your lunch and it's peaceful enough to hear the birds sing.

Please be wary of listings that claim to be in Sarlat or 5 or 10 minutes from Sarlat. This often refers to driving time. We are a genuine 10 minute walk to the medieval center. We've heard countless stories from holidaymakers believing they were coming to stay in Sarlat but have had to travel miles to get anywhere.

You can visit Sarlat's famous farmers' market and food hall or indulge in French pavement cafe culture while you watch the world pass by. Sarlat has many free events and attractions throughout the year including a Christmas market with ice rink. With events taking place almost every month of the year, there is always a good time to visit Sarlat! In summer you will find street performers, open air theatres, music festivals, fireworks, acrobats, musicians and clowns providing nightly shows for your entertainment. After a day spent messing about on the river, visiting caves, medieval bastide villages and chateaux, why not sit on the terrace with a glass of wine and watch the locals play Petanque, or even have a go yourself.

There really is something for everyone here in Sarlat, right on your doorstep...
