Gouffre de Proumeyssac...



Protected by one of the many beautiful hillsides of the Vézère valley, the Gouffre de Proumeyssac is the largest show cave in the Périgord. The density and variety of the crystallisations which decorate the walls of this enormous underground cavern are spectacular and of great geological interest.

This is just one of the attractions within 10-15 minutes drive.

Caves of Lascaux...



The caves of Lascaux are among the most famous pre-historic sites of early man. The cro-magnon people lived and hunted here, as long as thirty thousand years ago.

Although the original cave paintings are protected from the harmful effects of changes in the temperature and humidity, a centimetre perfect duplicate of the caves has been created for people to visit and marvel at.

Manoir d'Eyrignac...



The French-style gardens of the Manoir d'Eyrignac can be compared to no other, and are considered to be one of the most beautiful gardens in France. They were created in the 18th century, and were turned into an English-style garden in the 19th century, in keeping with the fashions of the time.
