Sarlat-La-Canéda

Sarlat-la-Canéda is one of France's more beautiful towns. We had planned on staying there almost a week, using it as a base of operations in the Dordogne, but ended up spending 10 days for our self-quarantine. Our apartment was less than a kilometer from city center, and we walked into town on several occasions, especially on market days. More Sarlat pix coming in later posts....

Our studio apartment in Sarlat; very comfy, except no air conditioning,
and the temps reached 102 at one point...
Tower of the Eglise Saint-Marie, now the covered market


Main pedestrian drag, cathedral tower
Among the famous town sculptures

Enormous doors on the covered market

The cemetery monument, known affectionately by some
as "the bullet"


Inside the cathedral

Famous house; one of Montaigne's friends; 16th

Street scenes...

Cheese
Little libraries are very popular in France too

The gigantic doors on the church/market used to be painted black! Interesting to see them looking like a red blanket was draped over them!
