Lascaux and Sarlat: two treasures to start the journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This first day gets off to a flying start: <strong>Lascaux in the morning, Sarlat in the afternoon<\/strong>. Two emblematic sites, very different, but both unmissable in the P\u00e9rigord Noir. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drive to <strong>Montignac<\/strong>, some twenty kilometers from Sarlat, to visit <strong>Lascaux IV<\/strong>, the faithful, ultra-modern replica of the famous painted cave. Even if it&#8217;s not the original, the experience is well worth the detour. The <strong>scenography is breathtaking<\/strong>, and the identical reproduction of the paintings literally transports you into the world of these prehistoric artists.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the visit doesn&#8217;t stop there: the <strong>interpretation center offers an interactive museum<\/strong>, with digital workshops, tactile and immersive devices. Discover how prehistoric man made pigments, created reliefs and played with light. <strong>Allow half a day to<\/strong> enjoy the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a lunch break in Montignac or a picnic in the countryside, set course for <strong>Sarlat-la-Can\u00e9da<\/strong>. Even if you&#8217;re already familiar with the town, you&#8217;ll be charmed all over again. Sarlat is a life-size movie set, with its <strong>cobbled streets<\/strong>, <strong>golden facades<\/strong>, <strong>lauze roofs<\/strong> and <strong>shady squares<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it&#8217;s market day (Wednesday or Saturday), let yourself be tempted by the local produce: foie gras, walnuts, cheeses, homemade jams, chestnut pastries&#8230;

Less well known than the Dordogne valley, the <strong>V\u00e9z\u00e8re valley<\/strong> abounds in treasures, particularly prehistoric ones.

The atmosphere is peaceful, with narrow streets, blonde stone houses and shady terraces. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the afternoon, head for <strong>Les Eyzies-de-Tayac<\/strong>, nicknamed the world capital of prehistory. Take the time to visit the <strong>Mus\u00e9e National de la Pr\u00e9histoire<\/strong>, a fascinating place to better understand human history and the major discoveries made in the region. You&#8217;ll see tools, fossils, reconstructions&#8230; it&#8217;s an excellent complement to Lascaux, with a more scientific and archaeological approach.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Round off your day at the <strong>campsite<\/strong>, relaxing by the <strong>pool<\/strong> or enjoying a well-earned aperitif on the mobile home terrace.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_4_%E2%80%93_Local_flavours_and_a_visit_to_Perigueux\"><\/span>Day 4 &#8211; Local flavours and a visit to P\u00e9rigueux<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your last day, head north to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/en\/visit-perigueux\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3753\">P\u00e9rigueux<\/a>.
