Montignac - Dordogne, travel guide

Montignac tourist information

This very pretty village on the Vézère River is most famous for being home to the Lascaux and Lascaux II caves (see caves section).

The village has been blighted a bit by overdevelopment on its outskirts, but the attractive balconied houses along the river front, and the pretty old town, merit a look.

The Chateau de Montignac is in the town - once a very important castle in the region, but now largely in ruins.

Montignac also has a very attractive old town and at the end of July is host to the Festival of Folklore de Montignac.
