About this tour...
This private day-trip: the Lascaux sightseeing Tour takes you into the very heart of France. The drive to Dordogne and Lascaux takes a little over 2 hours, so its good to get an early start. We’ll drive directly to Montignac, a cute little town next to Lascaux. Our first stop will be the International center for Parietal Art, where you’ll discover the most famous painted cave in the world. In addition to the visit of the painted caves you’ll learn the fascinating history of Lascaux, and have a chance to take your own photos of the paintings. However, there are many more caverns filled with prehistoric art in the region.
Lascaux Cavern in Dordogne is an unforgettable experience! Over 600 paintings cover the interior walls and ceilings of the cave. The paintings represent mostly large animals, and are around 17,000 years old. Enjoy sightseeing in France with Christian: your English speaking private driver guide.
In addition to Lascaux, there are a handful of other caves in the Dordogne region. The grotte de Rouffignac, for example. Here you board a small electric train and ride down deep into a very large cavern. Its also called the cave of 1000 mammoths. Inside you’ll find colorful images of animals; horses, wooly rhinos, mammoths, antelope, saber-tooth cats, and even human figures. We'll also drive through La Roque Saint Christophe cliff settlement ruins and explore the lovely village of Saint Leon-sur-Vezere.
