La Roque St. Christophe

Certainly a unique setting that many of us have never experienced. To be visited once, for the uniqueness of its geological site, the very beautiful view over the Vézère river. The site is well explained on short texts easy to read from plaques pinned in each important or significant part of the cliff, never too long never boring. Most pleasant lady welcomed us at the entrance of the site, most knowledgeable. We took the duo pass to carry on the day out on another visit to the Maison Forte de Reignac which was also most interesting back in time visit of the château built along a cliff.

A fascinating glimpse into history! This incredible cliffside site combines natural beauty with a captivating story of human habitation over thousands of years. The walkways are easy to navigate, and the views over the Vézère Valley are breathtaking. Informative displays bring the prehistoric and medieval past to life. Well worth a visit!

An interesting place to visit. It’s stimulating to imagine people living and working so high up. People lived here from pre-historic times all the way until 1588 when it was destroyed in the religious wars. Great examples of medieval methods of lifting, pulley systems etc. Beautiful views of the river and countryside. There are also ancient dwellings and sometimes re-enactments at ground level. So it’s possible to imagine the whole village with chapel, bakery, forge and stables. The information in English is not good, some parts have no information. There is plenty of parking in the shade. Best to arrive before 11:30 when it gets very busy.

Absolutely amazing place. Information provided in French and English. It's really interesting learning about how these people lived 100's of years ago. It's the biggest of its kind in Europe.. The way it was constructed and the defenses were amazing. 100% recommend if you are in the area.

Stopped here because had some spare time. Not a planned visit because but very glad we did. Got there mid-day and was pleased that wasn't crowded. A fun walk (took about an hour) with amazing views.

It's great to see now people adapted live live in cliff faces. The troglodytes who lived developed over a period of time to develop with technologies to live there.

Great place to visit both with kids and without. If you can get, get a guided tour. We didn't and I am sure we would have learned and enjoyed even more if we had someone told us the stories. The area was occupied from Neanderthals all the way to the end of middle-ages. Great views and a good gift store and a café at the entrnace

City in the rock. Medieval city high above the river. Walk along one of the levels and see some winches, tools etc which aren't in the original place but we're recreated up there. There were more levels and stairs connecting them but they aren't open. There is one tiny part about prehistory as medieval humans,living in the same place, wiped out most of the stone/bronze/iron age traces, apart from some bones found buried. There are signs in French and English and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.
