Location description
While the numerous ruins and mysterious grottoes discovered in this magnificent region indicate the presence of man ever since prehistory, the birth of Sarlat goes back to the arrival of the Vikings towards the year 850. Traveling through Dordogne on their frightening drakkars (longships), these Norman barbarians spread such widespread terror that the inhabitants sought refuge by moving inland.The City Once Upon a Time
While strolling down the maze of small streets, it is easy to get a glimpse of what the city was once like, at a time when the street was a real living space. The setting lends itself beautifully to imagine water carriers wandering with their valuable load, women selling unleavened bread and nuts, and screaming at the top of their voices to attract the regular customers.
The Place Boissarie in Sarlat, France
The chimney sweeps with their soot-blackened faces carrying their ladder and broom on their backs in search of a chimney to clean. Then, around a turn, you discover a house with a basket arch opening. It reminds us of the time when storekeepers presented their best products on the stalls and sold their goods directly in the street. There are also beautiful residences and other true Renaissance masterpieces at every street corner. While the lords lived in their castles, the wealthy bourgeois enjoyed magnificent and comfortable townhouses fitted with "towers of noblesse", Italian style. Only the second story was richly sculpted, as that was the floor that Monsieur occupied. Madame’s apartments were on the third floor, while the servants were housed on the fourth. An ostentatiously decorated residence was proof of power and therefore of respectability.
Visiting the city is as much fun at night as it is during the day, thanks to the work of Jacques Rouveyrollis, a talented electrician from the entertainment world. The natural city gas lighting that he set up gives out, every evening, a pretty yellowish light that recalls the old torches of days gone by, and sets off the walls so nicely. Moviemakers were quick to catch on, and the city served as the location for more than 80 movies: D’Artagnan, Cinderella, Ever After… And so, if you happen to cross this magnificent region that is the Périgord, do not forget to go by Sarlat to star in your own movie.
