La Bouquerie is a small gem of a house hidden in a quiet corner of mediaeval Sarlat . The house has been totally renovated and decorated to a very high standard, and features a living/dining room with exposed stone walls and beamed ceiling, tile floor and a traditional stone dry sink carved into the wall. The large kitchen has custom-made chestnut cabinets, hand-made  Provençal blue and white tile counters, and top-of-the-line appliances. The upper level has a solid chestnut floor, with skylights and exposed beams, washed in a white stain. Both bedroom and den have French doors looking out onto tiny balconies. A small cobbled courtyard is perfect for coffee and croissants, or foie gras and a glass of wine.
Just around the corner are a baker shop and newspaper shop, while only two minutes away are the many cafés, restaurants, shops, and of course the historic sites of Sarlat's old town.
After a day wandering through the lanes of Sarlat, shopping and tasting, or visiting the many other wonderful villages in the Dordogne, you can relax with an apéritif in your courtyard - while La Bouquerie is in the centre of town, it is totally private.
There is ample public parking nearby, and the house itself has a private, locked parking space a few minutes away.
La Bouquerie is not suitable for children.

Sarlat
|
Sarlat is one of the most fascinating and beautifully restored towns in France, giving the atmosphere and appearance of another age, with narrow steep alleys flanked by medieval and Renaissance houses in honey-coloured stone. It has more historic, listed buildings than any other place of its size in France, and is the only town to be given three stars by the Michelin guides solely for the quality and ambience of its old town. It has one of the biggest weekly markets in France, which takes over most of the town every Saturday.
On Summer evenings you can stroll through the old town, enjoying various 'animations' such as mimes and musicians, by the gaslight lamps. All Summer there are wonderful music festivals in nearby towns, while Sarlat has an open-air theatre festival in the market square in late July, and an international film festival in October.
