Visit the Vézère Valley
The Vézère Valley is located just a few kilometers from most of our gîtes. It is a fabulous place that concentrates an incredible density of tourist sites to visit, heritage and nature and leisure activities. Discover this intimate valley, nestled between high limestone cliffs, a perfect destination for family holidays.
The Valley of Man, in the footsteps of our ancestors
The Vézère Valley is in Périgord Noir, it follows the course of this calm river, from Terrasson-Lavilledieu to Limeuil, where its confluence with the Dordogne river is located. It is one of the most beautiful places in the Dordogne and that is perhaps why this valley has been populated by Humanity for more than 100,000 years. It is through its tourist and cultural sites that you will discover the lifestyle of our ancestors, prehistoric men. Caves, deposits, chasms, rock shelters, troglodyte habitats, castles… The Vézère Valley is now classified as a Grand Site de France but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You surely know the Caves of Lascaux, to discover at the International Center of Parietal Art in Montignac, you can also visit La Roque-Saint-Christophe in Peyzac-le-Moustier, the troglodyte village of La Madeleine, the Maison Forte de Reignac in Tursac… Continuing towards Les Eyzies, you can stop at the National Museum of Prehistory, visit engraved or decorated caves such as Font de Gaume, La Grotte du Grand Roc, Le Roc de Cazel… Continuing towards Le Bugue, do not don’t miss the extraordinary Gouffre de Proumeyssac!
Leisure activities for the whole family
To entertain the whole family, to learn while being active and to enjoy nature, there is everything you need in the Vézère Valley. Descend the Vézère, explore its meanders by renting a canoe or a kayak, there are several bases in Montignac, Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, Les Eyzies, Bugues… The routes are suitable for everyone, from 1 hour to several kilometers for a whole day of paddling. The river is calm and suitable even for beginners! Visit sites such as Le Parc du Thot to see the animals that our ancestors encountered such as deer, wolves, goats, sheep… Le Conquil to go tree climbing and enjoy a beautiful nature trail, the Préhistoparc… In Le Bugue about 30 minutes by car from our gites is the Aquarium du Périgord Noir, the Prehistoric Labyrinth and the Parc du Bournat which is absolutely brilliant for a family day out, back to 1900 in Périgord!
Castle life and charming villages
