Description: The Vézère Valley is located in the heart of France (Dordogne), in the south west, 2 hours from Bordeaux, Limoges and Toulouse. It is also close to the city of Sarlat (20 km). The antiquity of its occupation by the men makes it one of the places where one finds the most vestiges related to prehistory. Beyond that, the Vézère Valley ( Lascaux , Les Eyzies ) brings together a set of tourist attractions: landscapes, heritage, gastronomy ... The Vézère valley is best known for the extraordinary concentration of prehistoric sites . Fourteen of them were declared World Heritage by Unesco in 1979. Others such as Regourdou , Bara-Bahau and Castel Merle are classified as historical monuments.
