Sarlat in the Dordogne is a wonderful place to explore, especially the old quarter, as it is a maze of medieval streets which have retained much of their charm despite the proliferation of gift shops and restaurants. Every now and then though you come across an alleyway which probably hasn't changed much in the last 600 years. This is a typical example that I found tonight: I was charmed that the streetlights are not only in the style of gaslamps but they also flicker to complete the effect.
As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile. This is also for 'Square September' which you can find more about here - http://365project.org/discuss/general28377/square-september
Terrific picture. I loved Sarlat when I visited, and especially walking through the streets at night (although I love that in all the old French and Italian towns I have stayed in). If you enjoy mystery books, you might like those written by Martin Walker, who has a series based in the Perigord region.
I find this superb Richard, I just love the medieval dark street feel and the atmosphere here... I can't believe you almost did not post it!
