Monsieur Toulemon met us at the gate of his home: it's the gate which opens to the ringroad Nessmann -- rather than the massive wooden doors which open out into a walkway in medieval Sarlat. You can attempt the tricky parking in the ancient cobbled area or just drive up the hill to free public parking. La Maison du Notaire Royal combines two buildings -- one was built in the 1400s and the other was erected also in the olden days. According to our host Monsieur Toulemon, towers were the most sought after and expensive bit of exterior decoration and homeowners vied with their towers. In fact, when La Maison's tower was obscured by a new build --- which also reduced the street to just a walkway -- La Maison's owner retaliated by removing the street/walkway altogether, buying the offending house, and connecting the two. If you are into history or want ideas for exploring Sarlat and the entire surrounding area, this is an excellent place to stay. My husband wanted a B&B where he could lounge in cafes, walk to dinner so he wouldn't have to drive home tipsy, and where the experience would be special. La Maison du Notaire Royal is decorated in both the comfortable 19th century and the fun -- where'd you pick that up? -- styles. Our room had a balcony large enough for a table and chairs which overlooked the square. Breakfast consisted of fresh croissants and baguettes that were bought fresh every morning. I fell in love with the apricot jam at the B&B. Breakfast time was 9:00 am, I think. (I always push for earlier times and I may have succeeded here.) The only drawback was that I had difficulty connecting to the internet with my computer and phone.
