After our perfect picnic in the middle of nowhere Martin and I continued our drive through the middle of France to Sarlat, France. Sarlat was one of the first towns in France to become protected for its architecture (primarily from the early 900s up through the 18th century). The town came highly recommended by Martin’s parents who were just there, so we thought it was worth the detour. With a walking tour map (complete with historical fun facts) from their visit in hand, we couldn’t lose… although we could get lost, multiple times.
The historical center of town (which was the focus of the walking tour) was relatively small and the streets, avenues and alleys were even smaller. So it was easy to overshoot our route. For the 22 historical spots along the walk, we had to back track, re-route and constantly re-consult the map, spending more time trying to follow the tour than would have been spent just wandering through town. However, we did manage to see everything in the end and the town lived up to its promise of being a well preserved historical town.
That would make two historical sites seen in just 3 days.
