Camping Sarlat

Sarlat-la-Caneda,
Capital of Périgord Noir

Sarlat-la-Canéda is the name of a town in south-west France, in the Dordogne department. If you’re planning a vacation in France and want to stay close to the sights, Sarlat is the place for you!

The town of Sarlat is nicknamed “the black town” because of its many half-timbered houses. Indeed, most of the buildings are made of limestone, which gives the town its black color. This rock is very common in the region, and is even extracted from certain quarries. As for its historical past, it dates back to prehistoric times, as remains dating back to this period have been found here. During your stay at camping Sarlat, take a tour of the old town and you’ll find plenty of sites dating back to the Middle Ages!

And if you’d like to do some shopping on your vacation, there are plenty of stores in the town center where you can find everything you need. And there’s no shortage of good restaurants either! In short, by choosing a Sarlat campsite for your next vacation destination, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide range of activities while being close to the tourist attractions.
