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.

For the first time, all of Lascaux is revealed. A complete new replica retraces the discovery of the famous decorated cave. But that’s not the end of the adventure: the entire site inquires into the position that Lascaux occupies in cave art and its relation to contemporary creation.

Having studied Prehistory many years ago we were excited to visit the amazingly recreated replica of Lascaux IV The organisation was faultless from the ability to book an English speaking tour online to the way the visit was structured Our quite Christian was superb and his passion really added to the visit The cave is an incredibly accurate reproduction of the real cave. Christian really explained a lot about the technique of painting, the variety of animals and symbols and the different theories about why/ how they were painted After the tour he held a QA session and answered all the questions the group could ask The next section was a large hall where the various section of the were recreated in a clever arrangement so you never felt crowded Here you were given a small table that provided a map of the area and a commentary There were also addition features such as highlighting animals and learning extra details, the ability to electronically manipulate “found”objects such as stone lamps, embedded videos and the ability to take photos If this wasn’t enough there were two theatres, one 3D, and temporary art exhibitions We spend 31/2 hours of wonder and learning in what has to be one of the most innovative museums in the world
