Sarlat,
The undisputed star
Sarlat, living heritage
Sarlat offers extraordinary visitor experiences. On Rue Victor Hugo, you will be impressed by the modernism of the former Sainte-Marie church: restored by Jean Nouvel, it now houses a covered market and a panoramic elevator that rises to a height of 35 meters.
After this first encounter, we invite you to... lose yourself and observe. In the city's narrow streets, keep your eyes peeled to spot the settings of the more than 170 films shot here since 1928.
Absorbed by this journey into the world of cinema, you didn't notice night falling. Don't worry: the gas lighting transports you to a magical world that only Sarlat knows how to create.
Sarlat, a town steeped in history
With 66 listed or registered monuments within an area of 11 hectares, 3 Michelin stars, the Ville d'Art et d'Histoirelabel (Town of Art and History), and more, Sarlat could be proud of its achievements and international reputation. But no! That's not how this lady rolls. Sharing, generosity, and discovery are more a part of her personality.
You will find these values reflected in the narrow streets, restaurants, monuments, and shops. Here, everyone is proud to tell youthe fascinating history of this thousand-year-old city, wherethe Périgord way of life is expressed to the fullest.
