Dating back to 1503 this stone built property with its shady courtyard nestles in the heart of the Medieval town. The property includes a cozy lounge for guests where the breakfast (optional for 11 EUR per person/day) is also served. Knee-to-ceiling windows allow a beautiful view of St. Sacerdos Cathedral next door. The most centrally situated Bed & Breakfast in Sarlat, La Lanterne is a quiet oasis in the jumbled weave of alleys and passageways that gives Sarlat its world famous charm. Sarlat boasts of the highest concentration of medieval buildings in the whole of Europe….. and it's all on your doorstep! Literally in the heart of the town's historic centre, La Lanterne B&B could not be better situated for you to discover and enjoy the wonders and delights of Sarlat. Make your way through the cobbled streets and alleyways of this beautiful and mesmeric medieval town, made even more intriguing by night when the town takes on a special ambiance as the old fashioned gas lamps cast their warm glow over the honeyed stone of the historic buildings. Each room includes a private bathroom with shower gel, conditioner and shampoo as well as amenity trays, heaters and a fan for the summer.

The French, and to some extent, the Spanish have been visiting Sarlat in droves since the Malraux decree of the 1960’s saved the town from the bulldozers of modernisation and perfectly preserved this medieval jewel to be enjoyed by future generations. It’s the France of dreams. Set a few kilometres from the sparkling Dordogne River this small town of honey coloured stone basks in glorious light and sunshine that blesses the region with wonderful seasons of plenty. Not content with sitting on its architectural laurels, the Town constantly strives to bring the best in Art and Culture to the forefront. Preserving both the history and heritage in the Truffle and Goose Fairs, Sarlat also looks to the future with exciting theatre, hosting musical and traditional productions throughout the year. All guests who stay with us wished they had planned on longer stays as three nights only gives two full days - scarcely giving a chance to enjoy Sarlat to the full, let alone the jaw-droppingly beautiful surrounding countryside . The area is known locally as the Golden triangle stretching from the Dordogne to the Vezere River to the Capital, Perigueux, and Sarlat sits right in the middle!
