We went to St. Leon in the rain hoping to eat lunch in a little restaurant recommended by our hotel in Montignac but it was totally booked. Fortunately, we were able to see this remarkable Romanesque church that dates back to the 11th or 12th c. Its imposing stone exterior fits perfectly with the rest of the well-preserved ancient village. The two-story bell tower is set above the center of cruciform church, unusual in being more like a typical Greek Orthodox church, with the central nave ending in a simple, elegant apse with two flanking chapels. Some remains of early frescoes are still visible on the walls.

Lascaux II is the facsimile of the original cave. It is an exact copy of the 2 main halls of Lascaux, closed to the public in 1963. It contains 90% of the paintings of Lascaux. The Lascaux II tour is guided and lasts 40 minutes.

We visited Lascaux II and arrived just as they were closing for lunch, which they do after the busy summer months. However they let us purchase tickets for the English tour at 3 pm before closing. We spent the time to visit the large museum at Lascaux IV where we also enjoyed some tea/coffee on the terrace. Our 90 minute tour at Lascaux II started right on time and our guide was great - both entertaining and informative. The recreated caves were amazing, felt authentic and were much better than I expected. I highly recommend this tour.

The Lascaux Cave is an affirmation of our enduring humanity. About 19,000 years ago, humans anatomically exactly like us made this timeless art. We will never know the meaning of the exquisite paintings of horses, bison, stags, and those magnificent aurochs in the Hall of the Bulls. Even more intriguing is the lone human/bird stick figure that's tucked away at the bottom of the Shaft. If you use your imagination, however, his newest replica of the now-endangered caves -- dubbed Lascaux IV -- can transport you back in time and provides a visceral connection with our ancient ancestors. The incredible building that houses all of the exhibits slices organically into the mountainside and greatly enhances the experience. Although photos are not permitted in the reconstructed caves, a "workshop" with excellent replicas of the paintings in situ can be photographed. Knowledgable English-speaking guides help explain and highlight the paintings and a tablet-based audio program provides even more detail. There are also interactive displays, including a vertigo-inducing virtual reality tour of the caves. Lascaux whets the appetite to explore more of these missives from a distant past.
