APRIL - Sarlat, Dordogne

Sarlat in the Dordogne department, 2hrs N.E of Aiguillon.
It has the highest concentration of medieval, renaissance
and 17th century buildings of any town in France.
A Renaissance building,
now a sidewalk cafe in full swing for Easter
The townhouses are rich in ornamental detail.
Finally the ivy is turning green, a sure sign that spring is here.
Protected by heritage law in 1962, one of Sarlat's
old stone houses sits unchanged.
