The views from the two trains and the bus we took to reach our destination were great. We seemed to be traveling further and further into the countryside, passing farm fields and vineyards, as well as many old mansions. We had a 22 minute walk from the station to our hotel. Sarlat-la-Caneda Place de la Liberte Cathedrale St. Sacerdos (& Lanterne des Morts) Place du Marche aux Oies (geese), Manoir de Gisson, Place Boissarie, and Le Badaud (The Watcher) Sarlat (and its region) is known for duck, goose, foie gras, cheese, truffles, and wine. We opted for the specialty cheeses (red = tomato, saffron & green = basil, garlic) and pear sorbet at Square du 8 mai 1945. After having thoroughly explored the streets, views, squares, and buildings of Sarlat's old town centre, I repeated the process after dark. That evening I savoured a Fischer beer while catching up on "Ballers". Fortunately we had a late enough departure the following morning to allow us to check out Sarlat's morning markets, which have been famous and popular since the Middle Ages.
