Great replica of the original Lascaux caves. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. A word of warning that in peak season the car parks aren't big enough and it was hard to find a place which can then leave you tight for time if you have booked tickets in advance and have a timed entry!

Highly recommended, they have english speaking tours, really interesting to hear what they found and work going on to u derstand why these painting was done and what they mean, but you can't beat 20k year old cave paints for a day out in sunny south of France. Only down side but expected was the price restaurant.

Certainly lived up to expectations. We have wanted to visit here for years. The guided tour was informative and fun, and the interactive element was great as well. There is a restaurant and gift shop on site.
