BOHEMIAN HOUSE
House with a façade that harmoniously blends the medieval and Renaissance styles
The house of La Boétie (17th century), located opposite the cathedral, has a façade that harmoniously blends medieval and Renaissance styles. Built in 1525 by Antoine de la Boétie, it was the birthplace of Etienne de la Boétie (1530-1563), a friend of Michel de Montaigne to whom he bequeathed his entire library. On the ground floor there used to be a shop. Above, the two floors of Italian Renaissance style are pierced with large mullioned windows, framed by pilasters with medallions and rhombuses.

Malgré un certain noircissement, la façade est splendide et admirable avec ces baies encadrées de vitraux de style renaissance. Superbe toiture en pierres de lauze. Petit passage menant à une cour et à l’hôtel restaurant. Aucune possibilité de visite ce jour la porte étant close. .. Il faut prendre le temps d’arpenter toutes les petites ruelles pour découvrir la richesse architecturale de Sarlat.
