Wandering in a huge and unique (tentative) UNESCO site. A location where it's almost still just like France during the 14th century. No ruins, no piles of stones and deserted, after almost 700 years in time it's still inhabited and largely in use.
The medieval center of Sarlat is still so much alive, it's like walking back in time with so many medieval and monumental facades abound. The inner city of the city is rich in historic streets and facades, this also makes it a popular location for recording films and those who are fond of medieval architecture.
Photo July 2018, Medieval center (14th century) after +/-668 years in time. In the year 2050 it's 700 years since.

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.
