Les Suites sarladaises, the Griffon suite | Apartment in Sarlat-La-Canéda
1 Bedroom Apartment in Sarlat-la-Caneda Historic Center, Sarlat-La-Canéda
Les Suites Sarladaises consists of five upscale self-catering units (two one bedroom apartments and three studios) available for weekly rental in the heart of the historic center of Sarlat-la-Canéda, one of the most visited towns in France and capital of the ‘Perigord Noir’ area of Dordogne. Modern comfort is added to the innate coziness of ancient stones, weathered beams, fireplaces, and the patina of age.
Le Griffon (Griffin) is a spacious studio (35 sq m) housed in what was once the kitchen of the judges residence dating from 1640. There remains 'le cantou', the huge cooking fireplace (due to fire regulations, blocked and not in use) plus a niche with a stone sink - called an 'evier' in local parlance. Beamed ceilings, parquet flooring, and handsome antique furniture belie the modern comforts - a fully functional kitchenette with fridge, hot plate, sink, and microwave, plus a roomy bathroom with sink, toilet, and shower.
- The Griffin is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet. Because lions are traditionally considered the king of beasts and the eagle the king of birds, the griffin was an especially powerful and majestic creature, known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.
Les Suites Sarladaises is housed in the ancient Hôtel de Leydis, an imposing structure of medieval origin refurbished in the 17th century as a home for magistrates of the Leydis family who presided over judicial affairs in the adjoining 'Presidial', the royal court of justice. Over the ages these and other judges were housed in the building’s stylish period rooms - hence the résidences d'époque incorporated in its business name and logo.
The building's most prominent feature is its southern facade where an ornate iron balcony rests atop flamboyantly carved stone corbels, originally of defensive use. Other stonework also evokes the middle ages - two carved gargoyles protect a niche with a statue of the Virgin Mary and there are traces of gothic arches inside and out.
