Sarlat la Caneda or simply Sarlat, is a commune in the Dordogne department
Sarlat la Caneda or simply Sarlat, is a commune in the Dordogne department in Aquitaine in southwestern France.The town of Sarlat is in a region known in France as the Perigord Noir (the Black Perigord, as opposed to the Green Perigord, the White Perigord, and the Purple Perigord).Sarlat is a medieval town that developed around a large Benedictine abbey of Carolingian origin. The medieval Sarlat Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Sacerdos.Because modern history has largely passed it by, Sarlat has remained preserved and one of the towns most representative of 14th century France. It owes its current status on Frances Tentative List for future nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage site to the enthusiasm of writer, resistance fighter and politician AndreMalraux, who, as Minister of Culture (1960 1969), restored the town and many other sites of historic significance throughout France. The centre of the old town consists of impeccably restored stone buildings and is largely car-free

Sarlat's rich history dates back to Carolingian times and its well-preserved stone buildings transport visitors back to 14th century France. Thanks to the efforts of writer and politician Andre Malraux, who spearheaded extensive restoration projects as Minister of Culture in the 1960s, Sarlat has earned a spot on France's Tentative List for UNESCO World Heritage status.
The long exposure shot captures streaks of light from passing vehicles, adding a sense of motion and vitality to this historic setting. The warm glow of streetlights illuminates the cobblestone streets, creating a magical ambiance that is both enchanting and inviting.
