Who needs a painter or carpenter. The exact age of this door is unknown but it sure is very old. Nearby I noticed the square nails heads made by a forger. Dont we wonder what this door could tell about it's history to us..
They say it's 14th century, but it even be much older.
Photo August 2013, Medieval center (14th century) after +/-663 years in time.

Sarlat-la-Caneda - One of the most prominent villages in the Dordogne region is Sarlat-la-Canéda. A very popular destination in the Périgord Noir, maybe because modern history has largely passed it by. Sarlat has remained preserved and one of the towns most representative of 14th century France. The old centre consists of impeccably restored stone buildings, with 77 protected monuments it's on France's tentative list for future nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Largely car-free with lots of narrow ancient streets and small stores, an absolute pleasure to walk through and to discover.
