It has the particularity of being an independent building, built on a rocky overhang of 12 meters high against which the church is built.

Its peak is topped by a quadrangular stone pyramid. Guided tours from February to December.

The Villars Cave

Visit of the cave and its educational path

Suggested by OFFICE DE TOURISME PÉRIGORD DRONNE BELLE
New Aquitaine
Starting from 10 €
It is the largest underground network in the Périgord. More than 13 km have been explored to date. The infiltration waters have created one of the most beautiful natural sceneries. You will be able to admire impressive calcite flows, fine stalactites, translucent draperies and countless stalagmites. Prehistoric paintings have been discovered. Made more than 19,000 years ago, they are the authentic testimony of the art of our ancestors. Some of them, like the horse rotunda, are covered with a thin film of calcite which gives them their particular blue color. You will be able to admire the scene of the bison and the sorcerer, one of the rare human representations of the prehistoric art. In addition to the guided tour, the prehistoric garden presents you in a playful and educational way the Cro Magnon man and his environment.

New Aquitaine : Discover

This vast region offers a wide variety of unusual experiences. Visit the Cité de la BD in Angoulême and the Atelier Charentaise in La Rochefoucault, where slippers are made using the traditional sew-and-turn technique. See the Jacques Chirac Museum in Sarran, which exhibits gifts to the President from all over the world. The unusual leatherworker who works with fish leather. Thrill to a giant zip-line or axe-throwing. More leisurely: a gabare ride or a wine cruise. Eco-places, such as the Chaudron magique farm, bear witness to alternative lifestyles that respect the environment.

In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, you can sleep in a bubble perched in a tree, on a sailboat, in a giant barrel, a high-altitude refuge, a straw house, a ranch... Out of competition: DéfitPlanet', pioneer of unusual stays, and the Pressac Floating Village.
