Warning to anyone relying on public transport/taxis! Pre-book transport to your accommodation before arriving. We believed we would be able to get a taxi to our hotel from the station but unfortunately we were left high and dry!! Having phoned several taxi numbers without success it was only thanks to the kindness of a stranger that got us to our hotel. Google maps say it's a 9 minute walk, utter rubbish, especially with luggage. However, it's a beautiful medieval town and well worth a visit with your own transport

Amazing little town with beautiful buildings everywhere you look. It is very touristy (understandably so), therefore it’s best to get there early to enjoy at its best and to find a parking space.
However, it’s not the south of France type of crowd and is a must seen in the area.

Stunning place. Take a trip in the glass lift to the top of the bell tower for great views. Excellent train service from Bergerac. Market on a Wednesday so may be a busy day. Lovely shops. 15 min walk from train station but a lovely walk

Enchanting and quaint medieval town with lots of restaurants and cafes. Lovely to walk around and night with buildings lit. Very touristy, especially during market day.

If you are in the Dordogne the Sarlat must be visited. Parking is tricky but you will be rewarded by a medieval town with narrow streets and tall building. Many of the shops, of course, are designed for tourists but there are plenty of local produce and artisan products. You may have to look beyond the main streets however.

Nice calm little town, felt very at home even though we didn’t speak French. Everyone is friendly, and the market street was very relaxing to walk down, the shops were all interesting. Various international cuisines were available, but the local duck dishes and foie gras was the far superior choice.

When we went there happened to be a carnival or some sort of fair as well. It had just about enough variety of games for a fun night with friends.

Quite amazing city. So many wonderful old stone buildings and such variety of styles. Nice to see all independent shops and virtually none empty. The overhead colorful lighting is spectacular.

Great place just to walk around and the market days were wonderful to see. The old city is intact and so interesting to see. Many, many nice place to eat, or just sit with a drink and watch the world go by. Don't miss touring the Crowd-Magnon caves and troglodyte sites. We toured with Exploreo 24 and highly recommend them
