The enchanting Fontaine de St. Marie, constructed in the 12th century. It's nice location to refresh hands and face in the running water and to listen to the echo of many waterdrops. It's so exciting to feel the freshness of this well just like more then 800 years ago in history.

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.
