Fully open
Almost all attractions remain open through early November, making September and October a privileged time to explore Rocamadour, Monpazier and all the medieval gems without the crowds of summer.
Historic places like Sarlat are lively but wonderfully relaxed, and restaurants and shops remain in full swing. Legendary castles such as Beynac and Montal or the Gardens of Eyrignac are accessible all year round, welcoming visitors eager to savour the region’s beauty before winter sets in.
Make sure to experience the incredible hot-air balloon festival Les Mongolfiades in Rocamadour on the last weekend in September.
