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... |

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!
