Sarlat-la-Médiévale
Situated only 10 kms (6 miles) from the Combas Holiday Village, Sarlat-la-Médiévale is one of the most delightful historic towns in France. The houses, roofed with stone slabs and slates, rise to slender gables and boast ornate stone dormer windows and Gothic doorways. There are shops beneath arcades and buildings with corner turrets. Together they create a sumptuous decor filled with the hustle and bustle of visitors to craft workshops and other retail outlets.

Sarlat is the main town in the area known as "Dark Périgord". It becomes even busier on Saturdays when it is filled with the cries of its market, an event as colourful and redolent with wonderful aromas as anything Gargantua could dream of. Day-old chicks, poultry, fruit, piglets, walnuts, foie gras and truffles reign supreme as one month follows another. The town is also famous for its festivals, a film festival in autumn and a drama festival in summer. Whatever the time of year, Sarlat has cultural entertainment to share.
