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.

Very beautiful church up high in Rocamadour. There are lots of stairs and the place was quite crowded. Everyone wore masks, but people were still very close! Still a must see!

I love this place and would say it is a must see if you are anywhere near by. We drove about an hour to see this and our family loved every minute of the walk around the castle, church and little village nestled in the cliff.
8. Gouffre de Padirac
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5,355 reviews
The Gouffre de Padirac, the most famous cave in Europe, is considered as one of the most interesting geological sites in France. After a vertiginous descent, by lift or stairs, of 103 metres, you embark on a boat trip along the subterranean river with spectacular views on the galleries. That's when you discover the "Grande Pendeloque" - a gigantic stalactite of 60 metres high - hanging by a string, it appears to admire itself in the "Lac de la Pluie". You then walk towards the "Lac des Gours" or the "Salle du Grand Dôme" with its 94 metres high vault.

The tour of the caves and underground river is a fascinating, educational, awe-inspiring and reasonably priced must-see in the Dordogne area of France

Beautiful structure, with beautiful views over the Lot River & surrounds. A perfect start for investigating the beautiful City of Cahors. You can walk around the river from the bridge to the Old Town.

Super panorama overlooking the Lot River Valley. Medieval castle from 8th, 13th and 16th century. Gardens and interior in a guided tour, quite often with a member of the owner family. Chapel, donjon, jail, renaissance paintings including Les Métamorphoses d'Ovide and views of ancient Constantinople.

My partner and I were very lucky to have had such a detailed, thorough and exclusive tour of the chateau with our guide Xavier. He was kind enough to work later than usual in order to give us a tour in English. Our tour was filled with detail of the smallest kind enabling us to capture this castle in its prime, very interesting!
