A must-see! A fortress on a hill overlooking the Dordogne River with a panoramic view. Other castles can be seen from this hilltop. The castle is filled with armament from several centuries and is interesting to visit.

Transportation.
If you take a train from Paris you can go to Bordeaux directly on a fast TGV train. There isn't much difference between First and Second Class on the train from Bordeaux to Sarlat. If you're just coming to enjoy the town you don't need a car. However, if you are going to visit any châteaux, gardens, prehistoric caves or nearby towns you will need to rent a car, especially if your trip is only 2-3 days.
The train station is a 20-25 minute walk to the center with one hill. Reserve taxis in advance if you can. Uber is not available here in Sarlat.
