Then discover Lascaux IV cave, a perfect reproduction of Lascaux, in which you will contemplate the paintings that can be seen in the original cave. Finally, admire the dramatic troglodytic site of La Roque Saint-Christophe, a sheer limestone cliff inhabited since Paleolithic times, with guided explanations about prehistoric shelters and ancient engineering adapted to the cliffs.
