Towns

The Perigord Noir has many small villages and towns which are more than worth a visit. Beautiful old towns such as Sarlat and Montignac are lively places full of monuments and bustling markets. In addition, there are many other smaller villages, great for a short visit.

Sarlat la Canéda

Sarlat (at 25km) is a well-preserved medieval town attracting many tourists in the summer. The center is car-free for a greater part and offers many nice shops and restaurants. Some interesting sites include the Manoir de Guisson and the Sainte Marie church which has a glaze lift to the top from where you have a beautiful view on the city. The city offers you also a nice market twice a week. So plenty of things to see and experience.

Les Eyzies

Les Eyzies is located 10 minutes from La Cipière, on the banks of the Vézère river. The village is small but worth a visit, partly due to the fact that many prehistoric finds have been made here in the vicinity. The village therefore houses, among other things, the National Prehistoric Museum. In addition, there are a few cafes, restaurants and small shops.
