From aromatic truffles and succulent foie gras to an array of seasonal fruits and vegetables, Sarlat-la-Canéda's market offers a cornucopia of delights for food enthusiasts.

Local cheese tasting

Walk towards the Market and begin your discovery of the best produce of the Dordogne region. Your first stop will be at a cheese producing shop that has its own maturing cellar. Savor the opportunity to sample a variety of artisanal cheeses as our guide introduces you to the intricate nuances of flavor. Indulge in the velvety textures of Rocamadour, a creamy cheese with a distinct personality or Tomme a mild, semi-firm cow milk cheese, that has a buttery aroma. Stroll through the Market

    Heath Wilson 30, May 2024 We spent a wonderful two days with Maarten; we are grateful for his professionalism, positive attitude, and deep expertise. On the first day, we started with a food tour in Sarlat. After Maarten provided us with some history and information on this adorable village, we had our first stop at Chez Pierro where we enjoyed a wonderful wine and cheese tasting. It was amazing – the cheese just melted in our mouths and the local wines paired perfectly. After exploring the Cathedral grounds and remains of the Abbey, we had our second wonderful tasting at Le Cellier Du Perigord for Fois gras, pate, and more local wines. We continued wandering the town including the ancient market square and completed the food tour portion of our day at Les Toques de la Noix with various walnut based patisserie. We enjoyed lunch on our own and then reunited with Maarten for a fantastic afternoon exploring castles and local villages. On our second day with Maarten, he impressed us even more with his extensive knowledge of prehistoric history. He took us to two sets of caves with stunning prehistoric drawings – Lascaux IV and Rouffignac – both very different and both just as fascinating and interesting to explore. We stopped for a relaxing and delicious lunch in the small village of Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, we visited ancient cliff settlements – some of which housed people over 55000 years ago, and we soaked in all the history and knowledge that Maarten shared throughout the day. What a great two days exploring with such a knowledgeable and enjoyable tour guide. Thank you Maarten!

    Thanks! Heath
