Early October saw us return to our beloved France. We flew Easyjet from Bristol to Toulouse and then picked up our hire car and headed for Sarlat. We stayed in the most beautiful Bed & Breakfast (chambres d'hotes), in the medieval centre of Sarlat.
Our reasons for staying here were two-fold - first off the location is just perfect and secondly, it was a chance for us to meet the owners (friends of friends) who have now become good friends of ours!
The link to their B & B is here: http://www.sarlat.biz/index.html however, despite the great website the photos don't really do the place justice - it is a gem in the heart of Sarlat and we were grateful for the opportunity to spend a couple of nights getting to know our hosts and exploring Sarlat a little more.
The fine weather only served to enhance our stay - we were lucky enough to be in town on market day and whilst during the high season Sarlat can be overrun with tourists, this late in the season everything was much less frenetic, the hustle and bustle was more relaxed and it was a real pleasure to browse the stalls and enjoy the ambience and atmosphere.
We took the opportunity to visit our friends in Proissans and the weather was pleasant enough for us to dine al fresco at lunchtime - we spent a very pleasant couple of hours over a couple of very pleasant bottles of wine!!
