Foie Gras
What else can I say? If you don't like the idea of eating goose liver, make sure you do not mention it in Sarlat, as the entire local economy is built on this...

We recently visited Sarlat, which at only 2.5 hours drive from Toulouse, and discovered a typical regional French medieval village. Sarlat has one of the most beautiful open air markets of France, and is reknown for this. Hard to choose amongst all the types of fresh sausages, from duck meat sausage to porc sausage with truffle, or from porc sausage with roquefort to porc sausage with wild mushrooms. So the only thing is to try them all!!!! You have an incredible choice of walnuts all prepared in different ways, truffles, truffle oils, mushrooms, duck liver (foie gras). A truely incredible shopping experience for both the cronic household chef to the occassional weekend pot roast warrior. Visit, taste and enjoy!

Geese everywhere!!!
It is clear that the 'foie gras' culture is from this area. Even the statues are of geese... It is absolutely scrumptuous!

Sarlat market square
This is the medieval city center where the daily open air market is held.

Stone houses
On a nice sunny day it can get very hot, tempting you to discover every little alley of the town.
