I often go to Château Chambert with family and friends when I am in the Lot area. We usually do the visit in the morning, their caves are majestic, and the guides are knowledgeable and very kind! We finish with the tasting in their beautiful "Bistrot" and have lunch on their terrace outside that offers an amazing view on the vineyards. A lovely experience that makes your day!!

One of the world's finest painted prehistoric caves.
Reviewed By RichardR892 - Clisson, France
The visit to see these awesome 29000-year-old examples of Cro-Magnon rock paintings is very well organised. Groups of about 30-40 are conducted into the cave with a knowledgeable guide who explains the techniques and outlines the individual animals, which are not always easy to pick out. The visit was not hurried – over an hour - and we got a good view of all the accessible art-works. The cave also has superb geological features, worth a visit in their own right! The Museum shows a selection of artefacts and a well-produced film of the caves, including illustrating some drawings in inaccessible sections.
