The valley of the Vézère

The Vézère valley is famous for the classification of its numerous prehistoric sites in the world heritage of the humanity by UNESCO. We find there the cave of Lascaux, but also sites like the one of Font de Gaume, Cap Blanc.

The city of Les Eyzies can rightly claim to be the world capital of prehistory because of the important number of sites it shelters, its national museum and its interpretation center.

A little less touristic than the Dordogne valley, the Vézère valley offers calm and quietness.

It is ideal for family outings, walks and sports activities (mountain biking). Beyond prehistory, the Vézère valley offers, like the whole of the Périgord, an exceptional land and very well preserved heritage sites.
