Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SARLAT , a town of
south
 -western France,
capital
  of an arrondissement in the department of Dordogne, 44 M. E. by N. of Bergerac on the railway to Aurillac. Pop. (1906) town 40x8, commune 6195. The town grew up round a monastery founded in the 8th century and early in the 14th century became the seat of a bishopric which was suppressed in 1790. The former cathedral and abbey-church preserves interesting architecture of the Romanesque and later periods and remarkable
wood
 -carving of the 15th century. There is also a curious pyramidical structure of the 12th century, which was probably used as a burial-place. The
house
  where Etienne de la Boetie (d. 1563), the moralist, was born, and other houses in the
Gothic
  and Renaissance styles are to be seen. La Boetie has a statue in the town. There is a large trade in cattle. Distilling, the manufacture of tin-boxes, and the preparation of truffles, pates de foie gras and other delicacies and of nut-oil are carried on; there are coal and iron mines and stone-quarries in the vicinity.
