Great walkable old town center, modern touches kept to a minimum. Reminded us of smaller walled cities in Italy, like Lucca, but smaller. Big town square, great place for people watching while eating or having a beverage outside on the terrace in one of the many dining spots. Lots of quiet cobblestoned back alleys to explore. Stay nearby and walk in, a little different at different times of the day. Lots of shopping, maybe a few too many stores specializing in foie gras and truffles but in general not too commercialized. Lots of restaurants, some seem more geared to the tourist trade than others, do your research and you’ll find the good ones - look for ones with a chalkboard with the day’s choices vs. ones with garish printed fixed menu signs. Easy to use this as a base to explore the Perigord region, with Lascaux and several chateaus within a half hour drive. We’ll be back!

Very well preserved, thanks to the work of a 1960’s culture minister saving those old buildings from demolition. A favorite place for film makers, those set in the Medieval period. Honey colored stone buildings, half timber houses, cobblestone streets, statues, monuments, lots of cafes, restaurants, market inside a church and lots of shops, truffles and foie gras related. Went on a market day and we managed to buy the last truffles of the season. Nice to have a drink in the market square and see people going everywhere. Truly deserves to be in the Unesco list heritage.

This beautifully preserved medieval town, is a fantastic place to stay for a few days. Historic buildings, towers, multiple church’s, grand squares & narrow streets. Very touristy in season, but great place.
