Souillac; tour L’Abri du Cap-Blanc and the Museum of Prehistory in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac; tour the villages of St-Amand-de-Coly and St. Geniès; enjoy an excursion to Lascaux II and Rouffignac Cave; stroll Sarlat Market and the Gardens of Eyrignac; tour the fortress of Beynac-et-Cazenac; take a gabare cruise on the Dordogne River; and tour the walled village of Domme. Also enjoy a lecture by a leading preservationist and a Village Forum with local residents who will discuss life in provincial France. |
