Return to Caves in Dordogne

As well as many prehistoric caves around Les Eyziers there is the Musée de Prehistoire (see museums). Some of the caves in this area are listed below:

Grotte de Font de Gaume

This cave, just over 1km east of Les Eyzies on the D47 has a superb collection of prehistoric paintings. To protect the paintings visitor numbers are limited and in peak season it is best to make a reservation before visiting these caves.
