It has restaurants of all grades, a weekly market and its own caves accessible from the market square.
Within easy reach are the medieval town of Sarlat (much used in film sets), the amazing cave systems of Perigord, the spectacular chateaux of Castelnaud, Beynac and Montfort and the troglodyte villages of LaRoque Gageac and St Christophe.
