Another must do in the Vézère valley. Well worth a visit and finally a prehistoric site you can visit as so many are currently closed

The young French lady was excellent. Knowledgeable and with superb English she really brought it to life and pointed out things we would never have seen otherwise. Must pre-book, make haste because they're probably going to restrict access to this actual site.

Outstanding! If you're at all interested in our pre history this is a must. We had Pascal as our guide, can't praise him highly enough - such passion and knowledge about the carvings. So grateful to him for bringing it alive for us today. Photography of the carvings not allowed.

A small but profoundly moving site. Interesting tour from a knowledgeable guide.

An incredible place - it's a privilege to be able to visit it. Our guide was fantastic - she really brought the rock carvings to life and made the visit entertaining while also being very informative.

We had a very knowledgeable guide who made the experience much richer. Though you can see the main carvings easily enough there's much more there that the guide picked out for us.

A rather special find and thus slightly thrilling to visit. Personally, I am less moved by the artwork than many of the prehistoric paintings that I have seen in the various nearby caves, but for the full picture, this site should not be missed. The tour guide is very informative and took his time to allow you to take it all in and ask questions. The different lighting options, certainly adds to the experience, as light from different angles, totally changes the look of the sculptures.

Very interesting bas relief sculptures. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. His presentation was well organized and led us into the subtleties of the works and the prehistoric world and life
