Sarlat is France's best preserved medieval villages. The golden cobblestone lanes are peppered with ancient buildings of Italian and French architecture. You can see how they tucked them in so close, and at every angle.
The cone shaped building in the back is the "Lantern of the Dead" dating from 1147. It is the oldest monument in town and it was built in gratitude for the stopping of the disease of the plague at which time one quarter of Sarlat's population died in four horrible days.
