This is a "must see" kind of place for anyone interested in Neolithic cave art…read more The displays in the museum give context and insight into the astonishing art you see in the cave itself. The tour of the (meticulously reproduced cave) really brings out the wonder of the art, which was completed over a 500 year period 21,000 years ago! The tour guide spoke excellent English and showed a thoughtful and complete knowledge of the art and context.

This is Lascaux IV: #1 is the original cave discovered in 1940 by an 18-year-old and his dog, which…read morewas closed to public in 1963 when the light, heat, humidity, and exhalation produced by visitors was too damaging to this valuable artifact. #2 the replica opened in 1983 on the same hill. Unfortunately, the many tourists, along with their motor vehicles, continue to threaten the original cave. Thus, #4, grandly named Lascaux International Centre for Cave Art, was completed in 2016. (#3 is a traveling exhibit.) Lascaux IV can only be visited by joining the guided tour. I highly recommend you to reserve and prepay online, especially if you don't speak French, as there are very few tours in English and other languages. If you walk in and they are full, all you can see is the gift shop. At the tour, you get an tablet and a headphone. After some introduction, you walk into a replica of the cave. The cave replica was developed through 3D laser scanning and casting technologies to replicate the original cave form to a 1 millimeter tolerance. 25 artists spent 2 years hand-painting 900 meters of resin rock reproductions, using the same pigments that the prehistoric painters used 20,000 years ago to recreate the 1900 paintings and engravings that adorn the walls of the cave. Afterwards, you can spend as much time as you like in the multimedia exhibition, taking your time to take photos of the drawings, listen to more in depth explanation of each painting and watch videos about many aspect of the archeological site, which really makes me appreciate the artwork even more! Truly, the dynamic, expressive cave paintings are impressive. And that they are so ancient really give me a different impression of our prehistoric ancestors. The interactive exhibit is totally awesome, let me learn so much more than what a guided tour allows. I hope one day I can make it back again.

This charming hotel is practically located in the middle of nowhere in France. I had booked a great…read moredeal on a room in advance, and we arrived late in the evening. It felt like we had to drive forever to find the hotel, but we were warmly greeted at this comfortable property. The exterior is really pretty, and very French. It sort of looks like the grounds of a very small countryside estate. We had a rental car, and the hotel has a very small parking garage on site. It is NOT for the faint of heart. Our car barely fit, it was SO small. We were given an accessible room on the ground floor. It had a very large roll-in shower for guests in wheelchairs, and had lots of space to move around. I do not know why we were given this room, but the hotel felt very quiet and empty so we figured they just put us in a room close to the front desk. Our room was very clean and well equipped, but I especially loved the super high powered towel heating bar! I had to wash some laundry in the sink (a near daily task when traveling light through Europe), and my wet socks and shirts dried in about 3 hours on that rack! It was awesome! Since it was late and we were tired, we opted to dine at the on-site restaurant. It was very good and fairly priced, and we enjoyed drinks, snacks, and fresh fish and steak for dinner. The food wasn't fancy or particularly pretty, but it was filling and made with in-season ingredients (we ordered from the chef's fresh picks for the day). This isn't a destination hotel, but it was quiet and safe for a night on the road.

I'm 188cm (6"2) and I barely fit in the bunk bed, but I still slept great. The cleanliness was really good. Everything was clean and tidy. Very very impressive. Breakfast costs 6,85€ and is very good. There's baguette, bread and truly delicious corissants. The jams are great as well. The scrambled eggs where nice for a cheap hotel and so was the thick cut bacon. The only reason I only gave 4 stars is the price. We payed 110€ for our room including breakfast. For this money I have stayed at a lot nicer hotels. But I guess for booking only a few hours prior to arrival it's fine.
