This part of the Dordogne Valley is well known as the "Pays de l'homme", with Les Eyzies being the "Capital of Prehistory". In and around Les Eyzies are many places to visit and marvel at our ancestors way of life including Font de Gaume and the Museum of Prehistory at Les Eyzies, Roque St Cristophe and Lasqaux nearby.
The beautiful town of Sarlat with its narrow medieval streets, and well preserved buildings is full of interestng shops and many restaurants. Twice weekly markets are a must for the visitor to the region, as all of the gastronomic specialities of the Périgord can be bought there. Summer evenings in Sarlat are atmospheric.

Rocamadour, the famous pilgrimmage site is only a short drive away and well worth visiting, even just to marvel at the village clinging to the cliffs. | | | Things To Do | | Activities
