Description
Visit 12th century castles, Prehistoric cave art, magnificent vistas, the finest gastronomy in France, and visit famous vineyards (and taste the wine!)
...Visit the rock shelter of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, site of the discovery of the first 5 skeletons of Cro-Magnons, the earliest known examples of homosapiens. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, partly due to its proximity to the Lascaux Caverns, Les Ezyies is also ideal to explore the Grottes de Cougnac, where you can admire the prehistoric art in its original caves.
...Discover one of the most alluring medieval towns in France at Sarlat. Built around a Benedictine abbey of Carolingian origin, the town center boasts impeccably restored stone buildings that are some of the most representative of 14th century France.
...Admire the lofty Château de Rocamadour, perched on the side of a gorge, and famous for its sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Get panoramic views of 3 castles from the Château de Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, dominating the valley of the Dordogne River.
...Visit Chateau de Beynac to see one of the best-preserved castles of the Dordogne. Its austere appearance, perched on a limestone cliff, includes double crenellated walls, a double barbican, and double moats, one of which was formed from a deepened natural ravine.
...Wander among the topiary creations of the Jardins de Marqueyssac, or Erygnac - with panoramic views over the Dordogne River, and visit the romantic Eyrignac Gardens, where all the flowers are blue, white, and yellow.
