Market day in Sarlat

It's a big market with a lot of vendors. There are also cafés and restaurants and shops along the streets of the town center. It's all very lively, as much a tourist attraction as a working market.

Sarlat's city hall makes a dramatic backdrop for colorful market stalls and outdoor cafés.

Yesterday was about as hot as predicted. Thankfully, the house stayed cool inside, almost as if it were air-conditioned. But more pleasant. Today will be a little cooler and there's rain in the forecast. It looks like the rain will not make it to us after all.

    I cannot remember which book I read, (detective - mystery, no doubt!) but a big scene took place at the Sarlat Marché - a murder (maybe it was a Martin Walker book?) took place and your photo looks like the scene described in that chapter. I loved the 3 Goose sculpture in Sarlat! My daughter bought some Walnut Oil when they were there. Did you indulge?
