Old streets and little shops - many touristic shops in this populair historical town. The real gems are the smallest in town. The inner city of the city is rich in historic streets and facades, this also makes it a popular location for recording films.
Photo August 2002, Medieval center (14th century) after +/-652 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.
