Journey back in time 🇫🇷
A visit to la Roque St Christophe takes you back 50,000 years to the Neanderthals when men dwelled in cave shelters high in the limestone cliffs. Later during medieval times it was turned into a troglodyte town and fort. The caves were occupied by Cro Magnon man and remained occupied until as late as the Renaissance period. The site is a short drive from the UNESCO Lascaux cave paintings (17000 BC) which were discovered accidentally by teenagers in 1940 and continue to lure tourists to the area.
