    • Come and discover the Régourdou site, classified as a historic monument, located 800 meters from the Lascaux caves. This authentic site combines prehistory and a living brown bear park. During the guided tour, you will discover a burial of a Neanderthal man dating back 90,000 years. With the presentation of the prehistoric site, the museum, and the abyss, you will understand the environment and learn about the cultural behavior of our distant ancestors. A real immersion in the time of the Neanderthals of the Lascaux hill. In the park, you will observe the brown bear up close and attend the feeding during the visit. An emblematic animal from prehistory to the present day, you will discover its way of life, its link with man and its environmental stakes.

      During the visit free games: excavation bin and mystery bin. The Régourdou site was the location for the filming of the film "The Old Bear and the Child", which retraces the life of Roger Constant, the site's inventor.
      Painting and engraving workshops on stone and wood and wall of parietal expression on the theme of the bear on reservation. Exhibition on Neanderthals and on the different species of bears in the world.

    A very interesting informative guide of a local man's discovery. Mathis did a wonderful job giving a tour in both English and French. A local gem well worth a visit. Lovely to see the bears too. The children in the group loved feeding them apples :) The restaurant has a good menu with delicious crepes along with a varied selection of other dishes. Thank you too all for a lovely, educational morning This site should have more recognition than it does. I highly recommend a visit to support this locally important and ancient historical site!

    Passionate staff and interesting history, too bad it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves.
