We have just returned from Les Noyeraies Du Lander where we spent a lovely couple of hours. We were welcomed by Julien, the owner, then Manolo took over and gave us the most interesting talk about walnuts from planting, growing, harvesting and all the many processes that goes to producing high quality walnuts and other products. We sampled different coated walnuts and a cake, all quite delicious. We bought some walnut oil to take back to England, which will also remind us of a great tour. Just to say Manolo made such an effort to translate each stage into English and was a real star.

Every Wednesday and Saturday the great Sarlat market attracts vendors from the region.
Reviewed By delainef2020 - Salt Spring Island, Canada
The markets, held on Wednesday and Saturday mornings are full of wonderful foods;breads, foie gras (a specialty here), wines, fruits and vegetables, spices & herbs, as well as other niche articles such as walnuts, walnut oil and vin de noix, which is made from walnuts when they are still green. The old walled town is built of of stone houses which date back hundreds of years and with the assistance of forward looking government officials has been refurbished to its present day glory by showing ancient architecture in modern times. A special Festival takes place in early March, the Fest-Oie, which celebrates the geese of Sarlat which provide the foie-gras gras in its many forms, some of which are offered for tasting during the Fest weekend. Sarlat also hosts weekend celebrations of film, theatre and local cuisine over the summer and the fall. It is a lovely place to visit; be sure to take part in a free walking tour which is put on by the tourism bureau of Sarlat which will give insights into the fascinating history of this beautiful town and the region.

Au coeur du Périgord noir dans un cadre magnifique où la nature vous apporte une qualité de vie exceptionnelle, bienvenue dans ce site dédié à la magie de la nature. Les 3 hectares des JARDINS D'EAU offrent un nouveau lieu de promenade qui ravira petits et grands, vacanciers ou scolaires. Leur originalité réside dans les éléments qui les composent : diversité des bassins, eaux calmes, cascades, ruisseaux, végétation luxuriante conférée par les lotus, fleurs aux multiples coloris et plus belles les unes que les autres. Les variétés présentes, venues d'Amérique et d'Asie, se sont parfaitement adaptées ici (floraison étagée de mai à octobre).

We visited during the Confinement when we were allowed to travel 100 kms from home but before any restaurant activity. We took a picnic and were so delighted by this beautiful place. Boardwalks separating the different pools showing water lilies, lotus flowers, all manner of water plants and gorgeous koi fish in a beautiful setting with fountains playing - makes it a delight for children as well as adults. There were lots of shady places to sit, including the picnic spots. We were planning a small water garden at home and enjoyed buying our plants there with helpful advice and instruction from the friendly staff (possibly the owners). Delightful gift shop. All in all, a fabulous day out.
