Staying at Villa Christal puts you a short walk from the historic centre of Sarlat-la-Canéda, the unofficial capital of the Périgord Noir. From the villa, medieval castles, listed villages, prehistoric caves and the Dordogne river are all within half an hour’s drive.
What is there to do in Sarlat?
The medieval town is best explored on foot: golden-stone lanes, the Place de la Liberté, the Saint-Sacerdos cathedral, the curious “lantern of the dead”. Beyond that, four entry points shape our ideas for outings from the villa — pick whichever matches your mood. For more on the area, see also why choose the Périgord Noir.
