The 8 essential plans of the French Dordogne and the Black Perigord
1 VISIT THE CAPITAL OF THE BLACK PERIGORD: SARLAT LA CANEDA IN FRANCE
Sarlat- La- Caneda is one of the most famous cities of art and medieval history in France and the first town in Europe for the number of protected buildings per square meter.
It is the capital and they say jewel of the Black Perigord and one of the most beautiful villages (or rather small town) in the Dordogne Valley.
Walking through the city center (a veritable maze of narrow streets) we can easily understand why Sarlat is a point classified as city of art e History.
We can see old palatial mansions, fortified houses, Gothic palaces, churches and buildings of enormous historical value where even the shops are pure charm.
It is worth highlighting the parish church of Santa María, which offers incredible views of the city from its bell tower as it houses a glass elevator through which you can go up and enjoy magnificent panoramic views.
It has a large motorhome area one step away from the town, ideal to visit during the day and even spend the night.
Dining
In Sarlat, gastronomy is an art of living. It is often said that "Black Périgord is a region that is visited above all with the palate".
Savoring its gastronomy and going around the food markets is a must when visiting this city as they offer quality local products: foie gras, mushrooms, confit and magrets, truffles, walnuts, honey and wine ... depending on the season.
There are 3 different types of markets in Sarlat: the outdoor market (which we will find in the narrow streets in the center of the city), the covered market (which we will find inside the church of Santa Maria) and finally the night market.
Via Verde Sarlat la Caneda in France
One of the most interesting ways to enjoy the most natural and peaceful environment of this population is through the Sarlat Greenway.
A greenway that runs parallel to the old disused railway line, sublimely adapted for the enjoyment of residents and visitors to the area.
The best way to travel the Sarlat Greenway is by bike. Enjoying a bike ride breathing fresh air and escaping from the bustle of the city is possible on the Sarlat greenway, while in addition to exercising we can fill ourselves with culture, discovering emblematic places and towns full of history.
The Sarlat / Cazoulès greenway is one of the most beautiful in France.
It seems to me that the responses are not adapted to the state of alarm that we have, it is interesting if someone knows if it is possible to go to France, as before, or to travel through Spain, without problems, even if it is from Area to Area, thanks
Good morning, it is an article for when we can travel, we have the information at hand, in fact it explains the experience of a traveling family out of the Covid era with the will to help the next traveler in the area. Currently for any trip, we must first inform ourselves of the restrictions, since they change almost every day for each geographical area. Traveling to France may be possible depending on where you are from, but for example for us who are from Catalonia it is not possible, since You cannot enter or leave Catalonia.
