Sarlat Theatre Festival

The Sarlat Theatre Festival is one of the city’s great institutions. Since 1952 it has animated the ancient stones of the city during the summer, in general during the second fortnight of July up to the beginning of August. It is the oldest festival of its type after Avignon, the first in Aquitaine and one of the most well known throughout France. All the performances take place in the open air, against the magical background of the medieval city, whether at the Place de la Liberté, the gardens Enfeus or the Abbey Sainte Claire. On offer are both classical works and contemporary dramas.The Jardin du Plantier has special performances open to all ages. All you need to do is to ask for the programme !
