Abri de la Madeleine

Amazing experience. Very well laid out with an amazing audio guide. We also enjoyed the farm very much where you can get amazing ice cream and walk between the sunflowers.

Abri de la Madeleine is a really wonderful place. The situation over the Vézère river is quite idyllic, and the site itself a really interesting one. On the day I visited there were a number of artisans practicing mediaeval crafts around the site, which were really interesting to watch and talk to. I didn't get to visit the farm, but that's something for another day. There are good interpretation materials around the site that explain what you're looking at in French and English. The site is easy enough to walk around, but the ground is quite uneven, so something to be aware of for anyone who's mobility impaired.

We really enjoyed our visit. Lots to see and amazing to learn about the landscape and people from thousands of years ago.

Way way better than expected. Superb example of a Middle Ages cave / cliff village. Shame you can’t visit the prehistoric site

Interesting and fascinating place to visit, free parking nearby but the entry ticket is quite expensive considering that the place is not that big. There was a guided tour and we followed it but it was very crowded and we couldn't hear very well what the guide said although he explained well. There is also a rundown castle but a fence doesn't allow getting close to it.

A very interesting medieval site but there is archaeological work in the prehistoric section so you can't really see the namesake site of the Magdalenian period. I wanted to see that and so was a little disappointed. It was a very beautiful and tranquil place. Your entrance allows you to also visit the farm. There is an enormous amount of archaeology there. Everywhere you look you can find something.

Beautiful site, but the truly amazing experience was the FARM. A farm reminding us of what French rural life was like as late as the 70’s. Remarkable!! We loved it!

Wow fabulous insight into multi century use of the space are excellently preserved. Highly recommended the visit and the surrounding area.
