Jeremy Klar3 years agoMagical places that transcends thousands of years of history. The Veziere and Dordogne are a must on any bucket list.
sabrina laurenta year agoThe Parc du Thot draws a parallel with Lascaux. We find the animals in the paintings
Didier DI SCALAa year agoThis valley boasts a large concentration of prehistoric sites, caves, museums, and troglodyte sites to visit! Located very close to each other, there's no shortage of options for traveling back in time... and back in time, too, with visits to wildlife parks, as well as sports activities, hiking, and canoeing.
Numerous accommodation options and a well-deservedly renowned cuisine.
An ideal region for a family or romantic vacation.Where are we?
