What you can expect

This is a perfect full-day tour for those who want to explore the fascinating history of the cave paintings of the Dordogne!

Some 15,000 years B.C. unknown artists created breathtaking cave paintings of which the most extraordinary examples are found in the Dordogne area. During this day tour you will be introduced to this fascinating art and to the people who made it.

Begin the day in Les Eyzies de Tayac for a guided visit of the National Prehistory Museum. Opened in 2004, this national museum possesses the largest collection of prehistoric artifacts in the world.

Continue to Montignac where you will visit Lascaux IV cave, a perfect reproduction of the original cave. Opened in 2016, Lascaux IV is a triumph of technology. Unlike any other cave visits, Lascaux IV employs different set designs, displays, state-of-the-art interactive workshops and immersive technology to bring it to life.

Finally, end the tour with the visit of La Roque Saint-Christophe. Marvel at this dramatic troglodytic site : a sheer limestone cliff inhabited since Paleolithic times, with guided explanations about prehistoric shelters and ancient engineering adapted to the cliffs.

After the visit, return to Sarlat.
