Don’t miss Sarlat
From your mobile home or Pitch rental, take advantage of your time in Sarlat to visit the Cathedral Saint-Sacerdos in the heart of town, to admire its majestic stained-glass windows in particular. If you’re a mystery-lover, then head for the Lanterne des Morts, an enigmatic 12ᵉ century building in the Saint-Benoît cemetery. Finally, come and witness the bustle of market days (Wednesdays and Saturdays), the must-see rendezvous for the whole town. Whether for its heritage, its warm atmosphere or its many cultural events, a visit to Sarlat promises a unique experience, rich in discovery and wonder.
Not far from Sarlat and our La Garenne campsite in Peyrignac, a major historical site should also be on your vacation itinerary: the Lascaux cave.
