Sarlat-la-Canéda, Dordogne - Travel in France
Sarlat-la-Canéda, or simply Sarlat, is a town in the Dordogne department, in Aquitaine in southwestern France. The region is known in France as the Périgord Noir (the Black Périgord).
It is one of the most appealing, and popular, of the Dordogne villages, (or towns). It developed around a large Benedictine abbey of Carolingian origin. The medieval Sarlat Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Sacerdos.
Because Sarlat has been ignored by the events of recent centuries most of the town has been preserved and is representative of 14th century France. Restoration work has been impeccable and authentic.
Travel France - Exploring the Medieval Village of Monpazier
Take a tour of French Village of Monpazier in Monpazier, France -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Concealed in the Dordogne region of Southwest France is a vintage town out of the medieval era known as Monpazier.
The plaza at the heart of the town is the centerpiece around which the entire grid structure of the city is based.
The medieval buildings built of sandstone, blocks of stone with wood panels, and lovely arches are laid out around the town.
Its humble origins as a 13th century bastide have ensured its immaculate layout has lasted through the centuries.
The medieval architecture retained by the gorgeous stones and vibrantly painted wooden shutters exude warmth and charisma.
A testament to the importance of this small town is its recent honor of being deemed a National Heritage Site, which has meant its permanent preservation.

Château de Beynac, Medieval Castle in Dordogne, France
The Château de Beynac is a castle situated near Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne, France. The castle is one of the best-preserved and best known in the region and is regarded by many as a major medieval monument. It certainly has a middle-ages character, with an austere appearance, dark rooms, stone and iron.
Over-looking the Dordogne River, it was built in the 12th century by the barons of Beynac. The castle played a key role in the 100-Years War.
Some additional information, courtesy of Wikipedia:
The oldest part of the castle is a large, square-shaped, Romanesque keep with vertical sides and few openings, held together with attached watch towers and equipped with a narrow spiral staircase terminating on a crenellated terrace. To one side, a residence of the same period is attached; it was remodelled and enlarged in the 16th and 17th centuries. On the other side is a partly 14th century residence side-by-side with a courtyard and a square plan staircase serving the 17th century apartments. The apartments have kept their woodwork and a painted ceiling from the 17th century. The Salle des États (States' Hall) has a Renaissance sculptured fireplace and leads into a small oratory entirely covered with 15th century frescoes, included a Pietà, a Saint Christopher, and a Last Supper in which Saint Martial (first bishop of Limoges) is the maître d'hôtel.
At the time of the Hundred Years' War, the fortress at Beynac was in French hands. The Dordogne was the border between France and England. Not far away, on the opposite bank of the river, the Château de Castelnaud was held by the English. The Dordogne region was the theatre of numerous struggles for influence, rivalries and occasionally battles between the English and French supporters. However, the castles fell more often through ruse and intrigue rather than by direct assault, because the armies needed to take these castles were extremely costly: only the richest nobles and kings could build and maintain them.
The castle was bought in 1962 by Lucien Grosso who has restored it.
Visitors to the castle can see sumptuous tapestries showing hunting and other scenes from the lives of the lords of the period. The Château de Beynac has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1944.
Beynac castle has served as a location for several films, including Les Visiteurs by Jean-Marie Poiré, in 1993, La Fille de d'Artagnan by Bertrand Tavernier, in 1994, Ever After by Andy Tennant, in 1998, and Jeanne d'Arc by Luc Besson, in 1999. The village of Beynac below the chateau, also served as a location for the film Chocolat by Lasse Hallström, in 2000.
