The Vezere

The Vezere

The Vezere Region of the Dordogne, contains 147 prehistoric sites dating from the Paleolithic and 25 decorated caves. It is particularly interesting from an ethnological and anthropological, as well as an aesthetic point of view because of its cave paintings, especially those of the Lascaux Cave, whose discovery in 1940 was of great importance for the history of prehistoric art.
Most people visiting the area visit attractions such as Lascaux, Roque St Cristophe, Madeleine etc.. but very few people get to see the real hidden treasures that are riddled along the Vezere river.. that is until now. Walking Dordogne’s trip along the Vezere River is a fantastic trip to remote and (almost) forgotten prehistoric and Medieval places of interest
