Push open the door. Behind it awaits you Sarlat, memory of the ages and the capital of the Périgord Noir nestling in its lush green hollow, in defiance of time itself. As the poet said, the honey-coloured stones of the thousand-year-old buildings of Sarlat drink in the daylight, to return it at twilight. Sarlat has withstood the rigours of a long history. Restored these last few decades, the paved streets and squares were among the first to have gas-lighting. There are no overhead wires to detract from the pleasure of the age-old stones, or to get in the way of the photographer's lens. Come and discover for yourself he secrets of this "Ville d'Art et d’Histoire".
