The wonder of Montignac
If it's the tree that hides the forest, in Montignac it's the forest that hides a masterpiece: the Lascaux caves and their rock art, ancestor to "street art". I recommend a stop-over at the International Centre for Cave Arts and a walk in the footsteps of our ancestors from 20,000 years ago. To make the magic last, why not stay at the Bouilhac, a charming hotel and an invitation to daydream and pretend you're in another age and time.

The Bouilhac is a top range 4* hotel-restaurant located in a former town-house listed as an historical monument right in the centre of Montignac. With its ten rooms, beautifully decorated using shades and colours inspired by the Vézère river and surrounding countryside, you can almost hear the water lapping against the walls.
The charm of Les Eyzies
A destination that is absolutely unique in the world for its high concentration of prehistorical sites, 14 of which are ranked Unesco World Heritage Sites. Montignac-Lascaux, Les Eyzies world capital of prehistory and Sarlat form a golden triangle for tourism. The must-do's of your trip: a visit to the National Prehistory Museum and Sarlat, a medieval town with a rich historical heritage. After your visit you might find it difficult to tell the difference between history and myth. So why not sleep on it at the "Les Glycines" hotel, a former coaching inn built in 1862.

The delight of Trémolat
Exuding peace and serenity Trémolat, a spectacular and unforgettable vantage point, is a charming village located at the confluence of the Vézère and Dordogne rivers. The river flowing through, the mix of colours and the rolling landscapes are genuinely soul-soothing. Just the place to add the ideal finishing touch to your time in the Périgord at the "Vieux Logis", a Relais et Château with an award-winning Michelin-starred restaurant.
