The Cathedral in Sarlat as photographed from the back side. Impressive!
Looks like it is situated in the countryside rather than in the middle of the town.

Another amazing Cave.

Pech Merle is a cave which opens onto a hillside at Cabrerets in the Lot département of the Occitania region in France, about 35 minutes by road east of Cahors. It is one of the few prehistoric cave painting sites in France that remain open to the general public. Extending for over a kilometre and a half from the entrance are caverns, the walls of which are painted with dramatic murals dating from the Gravettian culture (some 25,000 years BC). Some of the paintings and engravings, however, may date from the later Magdalenian era (16,000 years BC).

Rocamadour has attracted visitors for its setting in a gorge above a tributary of the River Dordogne, and especially for its historical monuments and its sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which for centuries has attracted pilgrims from many countries, among them kings, bishops, and nobles.

Rocamadour is a commune in the Lot department in southwestern France. It lies in the former province of Quercy.

Amazing! Our area has so many wonderful places to discover. This is the most famous cave in the area.

Lascaux, is the setting of a complex of caves near the village of Montignac, in the department of Dordogne in southwestern France. Over 600 parietal wall paintings decorate the interior walls and ceilings of the cave. The paintings are primarily of large animals, typical local and contemporary fauna that correspond with the fossil record of the Upper Paleolithic time. The drawings are the combined effort of many generations, and with continued debate, the paintings are estimated around 17,000 years BP. Lascaux was inducted into the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list in 1979, as element of the Prehistoric Sites and Decorated Caves of the Vézère Valley.

This Airparc is about 20 minutes from the house. Our young grandchildren loved sailing over the river after they learned "the ropes" of zip lining over the fields. Both Child and Adult levels....Just one more fun activity along the Dordogne
