Manoir de Gisson Museum, Sarlat-la-Caneda
13th-century manor house in the centre of Sarlat
With mullioned windows, dark grey stone slate roof (lauze) and the well-known honey-coloured stone of the facade, this is one of the most remarkable buildings in Sarlat.
You can enjoy a tour of this house to experience life as it once was in the medieval town of Sarlat. Moving from room to room you will see original furniture and decoration that will give a real insight into the life of the upper classes of the Renaissance period.
All the explanation panels are in French but you can pick up a leaflet at the entrance that has English translations so that you can understand everything.
Visitor comments
- "This house was an absolute delight - a beautiful manor house in the heart of the town, with balconies overlooking the streets offering lovely views of Sarlat. The rooms were so pretty - pale stone floors and walls. Useful English guidebooks - and they allowed dogs in, which was a bonus. I'd expected one of us would have to stay outside with them. Really well worth a visit." - Trip Advisor
- "This Manoir is well kept, original furniture, a lot of history. Beautiful staircase, very accessible. Don't miss it!" - Trip Advisor
- "Was not expecting much we went there on an overcast day to pass the time. Much better than expected. All the rooms are furnished like it was in the days and there are a lot of things to read and see. I recommend." - Trip Advisor
