Commarque Castle Caves and chasms, Prehistoric Sites in Les Eyzies de Tayac

Commarque Castle

The mysteries of the Forgotten Fortress

Once upon a time, in a legendary valley there was a grandiose millefeuille of stones where dungeons and fortified castles, troglodytes and prehistoric caves overlap in a breathtaking landscape. You will engrave stone like a builder, you will shoot a bow like a knight, you will trace with a pen the poems of courtly love. You will discover the mysteries of Commarque through old games, themed workshops, a puzzle game, captivating exhibitions and of course free and guided tours...
