This ancient walled medieval town is ideal for a short break from driving. It's small enough that you can get a feel for the atmosphere and walk past a number of seriously ancient buildings without taking too much time out of your journey.

The walk is just before the town, so dogs won't be upset by the on-lead stroll through the town.

Look out for the Black Prince's (Prince Noir) Tower, the Church of Saint-Pierre, and a glorious water feature cascading through the main square.  There's also access to the river Vézère down a steep path near the medieval masonic lodge.
