Taxi Sarlat-la-Canéda → Périgueux
Your Sarlat-la-Canéda → Périgueux transfer at €125–€155. 65 km through the Vézère valley, cradle of prehistory.
A taxi between Sarlat-la-Canéda and Périgueux costs between €125 and €155 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 65 kilometres and a journey time of from 50 to 65 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes D704, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €200. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

This 50-minute taxi crosses the heart of the Dordogne, linking two cities of art and history with very different characters. Sarlat-la-Canéda enchants with its golden-stone medieval mansions, legendary truffle and foie gras markets, and the mysterious 12th-century lantern of the dead. Périgueux boasts the UNESCO-listed Saint-Front cathedral with five Byzantine-inspired domes and the Jean Nouvel-designed Vesunna museum housing a Gallo-Roman villa in situ. Between them, the D704 crosses the UNESCO-listed Vézère valley with its extraordinary prehistoric sites, including the world-famous Lascaux caves. Lascaux IV, the International Centre for Cave Art, offers a breathtaking full-scale reproduction of the original cave paintings discovered in 1940.
