This mechanism demonstrates how the rock was move. The cave also has the fortress for defense. You also can see the jail was putting there. Some area is used for gardening. This high location has a good overlooking the river below.

This sheer rock face, some five terraces high, has been inhabited since prehistoric times. It was such a secure place, above the Vezere river, that man made it a troglodytic fort in the 10th century and that these early efforts were added to throughout the middle ages when the fort, really by then a high rise town, often held as many as 1000 people. A little reconstruction has taken place and one can easily imagine how the medieval town worked, how it continued to supply itself full size working models of big lifting machines have been constructed here - and how it defended itself against attackers. A marvellous and worthwhile experience.

I had very fortunately pulled off on this side road where Camping du Bas Meygnaud is located. Frederic is leaving on a motorcycle and stops to offer assistance. Frederic and Carla and others were so gracious to take us in and put us in a chalet or wooden cabin for the the night. By then it is midnight, but they were still happy to get the key and take us to the cabin and find where to turn on power. So the staff went way above and beyond for us! Huge campsites, some forested and some adjacent to fields. Beautiful place to enjoy the countryside. August 2022

We had the honor and privilege to stay at La Villa Des Consuls during our stay at Sarlat. Our room…read moreoverlooked the street very close to the city center. Our hostess Sophie and host Valentine insured that every detail was perfect. The breakfast, each morning was amazing. I would highly recommend this hotel, and hope that I can come back in the future.

We booked a 2-night stay, and when we arrived, the hosts were not there during their posted business hours. We called and they came about 10 minutes later as we waited outside, and they yelled at us incessantly as they approached. The yelling did not cease, and they continued to tell us they cancelled our reservation and were obstinate to any reason. I hoped to minimize emotional damage to my wife and child and told the hosts "Enough", if they wouldnt give us our room, we would find one somewhere else. Not worth the fight. I thought, later on, of course they will refund our money. They didn't. The entire experience tainted and ultimately spoiled our stay in Sarlat-la-Caneda. We had to spend extra time to find a hotel at the last minute, and the unprecedentedly rude treatment was quite jarring. These people are not professional in the least. Add to that how hard they were to reach afterwards when us and our booking agency tried to call them, they are only open a couple hours of the day and still then often aren't there during their posted business hours. It is a shame because we had such a wonderful trip throughout many other towns and accommodations across France. I recommend France, the Dordogne Valley, and even Sarlat - but steer clear of this bait and switch.
