Sarlat-la-Caneda
$22.00
A medieval town in the Périgord Noir, built almost entirely from the local golden limestone that holds the late light. The Saturday market still fills the Place de la Liberté the way it has since the 14th century. Geese, walnuts, truffles in season, cheese under the arcades. André Malraux made Sarlat the test case for his 1962 law protecting France's historic centres, which is why the old town still reads as one continuous medieval and Renaissance set piece. The roofs are lauze, the heavy split-stone tiles of the region. People walk slowly here.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
