One of the biggest weekly markets in the Dordogne region is held in Sarlat on a Wednesday morning and all day on Saturday where all the traditional regional products can be bought.
The markets are held in Place de la Liberté in this wonderful medieval town and its produce depends on the season but expect truffles, duck, foie gras, mushrooms and nuts. The Wednesday market is markedly smaller with fewer stalls and more local produce and local buyers. The Saturday market however, draws crowds from far and wide. Probably the most popular market in the region, it is certainly worth a visit to stroll through, taste some samples and buy some fresh local produce.
Top Tip - get there early to avoid parking issues and get the best of produce for sale. You may find yourself parking some distance away and walking into the centre of town.
