Old streets and little shops - many touristic shops in this populair historical town. The real gems are the smallest shops in town. The inner city is also rich in historic streets and facades, this also makes it a popular location for recording films.

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.

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.

The village center of Sarlat, a very nice historical area with lots of medieval architecture in little streets and alleys in the old city center. This type of medieval houses have half-timbered facings, wooden corbels and the old roof is tiled with "lauzes", flat limestone typical for the Périgord.

A sign shows some more famous people than the villagers. Nothing compared to Isabeau of Limeuil, the village own celebrity. She's linked to the gallant stories of the court of the Valois kings of the Renaissance, in the 16th century. She was part of the "flying squadron" of Queen Catherine de Medici (her bridesmaids, sometimes called libertines).

 

Wandering in the silent small streets of Limeuil surrounded by only old, medieval even older houses. It's a steap walk up-hill that leads to an excellent panorama to enjoy the surrounding landscape and rivers. It's like the village didn't change at all, the many traces in architecture show a long history back in time.

Limeuil: Urban Photography

The village of Limeuil, located at the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers historically both commercially and strategically on the highways of trade. This region was primarily a wine-producing area for subsequent delivery downstream to Bordeaux, on large, flat-bottomed "gabarres". Nowadays a very nice historical village and on the list of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France", the most beautiful villages of France.

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.

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.

The narrow medieval streets inspire many movie producers. The center of town is a popular shooting location. Visitors might recognise facades and streets just because they have seen it earlier in movies or tv-series.

A VENDRE - if you live in this house you will be almost the most photographed person if you stick your head outside the window at regular basis. Every single moment of the day people will look up to you, saying you must be the lucky owner.

A few chairs and a table. Worn out but every year still there. It's a common view in many French villages, people are used to take a seat outside in many months of the year.

 

It's one of those excellent places to sit and enjoy this medieval town. It looks a bit worn out but that's because of frequent use, a French custom. Imagine, just add a nice French coffee, a crispy Croissant and the local newspaper. It's one of those many healthy moments of peace in the outdoors.

 

Over the years, not much has really changed in this corner, at most the grape stump with fresh green leaves in early spring and to see how the grape bunches mature during the summer and autumn. Who wouldn't want to have their own terrace like this, and the time and opportunity to use it almost the whole year round.

Monpazier: Urban Photography

The small village Monpazier, a 13th-century bastide town, founded in 1285 and built by King Edward I of England for trade, commerce and justice. It almost didn't change in the past centuries, a medieval town square lined with an arched arcade, a 16th-century covered market, three of the original six rampared city gates remain and many other traces of medieval history. This picturesque small village is one of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" villages, said to be one of the most atractive in southwest France.

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.
