Playing in Sarlat-la-Canéda
Golden stone walls, lauze roofs and narrow lanes give Sarlat the look of a preserved set, where cars are few. The centre reads like a large map: from the Saint-Sacerdos cathedral to the Lanterne des Morts, each square carries its own details. The markets and the products of the Périgord, walnuts, truffle, foie gras, bring a foodie thread to any route, whatever the age of the players.
On market days, the squares are occupied and the lanes very busy: check the calendar before setting the game. The cobbles call for good shoes.
