A breathtaking cliff: Visit Europe's largest troglodytic city in the Vallée de l'Homme!
This limestone giant (1 km long, 80 m high) faces the Vézère Valley. The cliff offers incredible rock shelters, occupied by man for 55,000 years. Take your family back in time on a guided tour of the troglodyte fort and town. Enjoy workshops (paleo music, fire lighting, discovery of local birds, flint knapping) and medieval chivalry in season. Summer evening walks (4 times a week).

Archéologique tout d'abord car on peut voir l'érosion de la roche sur des millions d'années, on se sent petit face à cela. Cette érosion forme un ensemble magnifique avec des strates bien distinctes.
Historique car il y avait un village sur cette falaise avec des histoires passionnantes.
Franchement cela vaut le détour tellement le lieu est magnifique
Qui comprend, l'habitation troglodytique de la préhistoire, puis transformer en fort et habitat au Moyen-Age, ceci aménagé, tel que les hommes vivaient à cette époque.(mobiliers et surtout armes de défense)
Conseillé de prendre un guide érudit pour avoir les anecdotes de l'histoire de ce site vraiment intéressant et incontournable. Ou libre,des informations très utiles et précises à chaque espace.
A ne pas manquer ,car le lieu est génial ,avec le panorama sur la Vezere,qui lui-même était au bord du site, dans le lointain des milliers d'années.
Avant de partir, je vous conseille d'acheter la B.D qui explore le sujet de l'art de vivre des habitants de Félix et Bigotto édition Dolmen.
