Welcome to the capital of prehistory! This is the nickname given to this modest village which follows the course of the Vézère. It must be said that the extraordinary sites that you can visit are numerous.

In addition to the very richly supplied national museum, I encourage you to go to the Pôle de la préhistoire. Building entirely dedicated to this science and free. Find out about all the prehistoric marvels that can be admired in and around the town. They are not missing.

It is not without reason that the Vézère valley has been nicknamed the valley of man.

beautiful view of the caves in the rock

Highlight • Other

The limestone cliffs are carved with caves and shelters, shaped by both nature and humankind: prehistoric dwellings, rock-hewn homes, and silent witnesses of our ancestors’ lives. This area, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is where archaeology and nature meet—the golden stone, sculpted by water and time, tells the enduring story of a deep bond between the land and those who have inhabited it since prehistory.

Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge has already been widened on one side. However, the extension is not as elegant as the original bridge arches, which here - in the large meander of the Vezere river - lead across the water from bank to bank, which were carried out by the builders at the time. It rather gives the impression of a makeshift bridge, but in the vernacular we know that nothing is as permanent as a temporary solution.
