Sarlat
We visited Sarlat on a regular day and had our lunch at Le Tourny restaurant.
We were walking in Sarlat and our son declared he was really hungry, so we took a street off the main square. Unfortunately most of restaurants on my list were closed during the day.
Le Tourny offered a €10 formula and a child meal for €6, so we decided to eat there. They invited us to the top floor terrace as it was shadier and pleasant. At first I was convinced this restaurant would be expensive, but in fact it was really affordable. I went with a foie gras mi-cuit followed by confit duck with potatoes and truffles. My husband chose the coq au vin and same foie gras. The foie gras was extremely good. The confit was just good, a bit dry on one side and not as crispy as expected. The one at Chez Flottes in Paris was better. Coq au vin had a delicious sauce and was good. Our son chose on the child menu veggies plate, Ham with potatoes, and an ice cream. The wine was very good and since the dessert was really affordable starting at €3.50, my husband decided on a tarte aux pommes.
In 2011, we visited Sarlat on a Market day, Wednesday, and shopped for foie gras, and souvenirs.

Description of our trips
We spent a total of 2 weeks in the Dordogne and will be coming back. This region abounds with prehistoric caves. We visited le Fond de Gaume, and le Gouffre de Proumeysac in July 2010. We also visited le Gouffre de Padirac in the Lot.
In July 2011 we came back and visited Rouffignac, Cougnac in the Dordogne region and Pech Merle and Lacave in the Lot.
The towns we visited were Brantome, Beynac, Sarlat, La Roque Gageac, Domme, Limeuil, St Leon sur Vezere. We stayed in Carsac-Aillac in a camping. In the Lot and Quercy we went to Rocamadour, Cahors, and Puy L'Eveque.
We visited the markets in Sarlat, St Cyprien and Carsac.
While on the road to our camping in Carsac-Aillac, one of the cars right in front of us was towing another car attached by a ... cord.
