In addition to Lascaux, there are a handful of other caves in the Dordogne region. The grotte de Rouffignac, for example. Here you board a small electric train and ride down deep into a very large cavern. Its also called the cave of 1000 mammoths. Inside you’ll find colorful images of animals; horses, wooly rhinos, mammoths, antelope, saber-tooth cats, and even human figures.

5.00Christian was professional, knowledgeable and very pleasant. (He speaks English and French fluently, Spanish (I think) and a smattering of other languages, too!) He arrived early at 8:20a.m. at the hotel for an 8:30 pickup, and was a very good driver. We felt safe with him. We arrived at Lascaux with 10 minutes to spare before our tour began. Lascaux was just wonderful ! It is a fantastic museum and exhibit, expertly done. We ate at the café de Lascaux. It was just a panini, but it was tasty. Christian then drove us to tour the caves at Rouffignac. Although we had never before heard of Rouffignac, it was very interesting. It took roughly 2-2.5 hours to return to the hotel. The ride was smooth.We got back to the hotel at about 5:30p.m. It was a long day for us, but very worth it.
Outstanding Tour

5.00It was a perfect day. Christian is pleasant, knowledgeable and provided a comfortable ride. Lascaux is outstanding. The museum and tour were excellent, as is their restaurant. Rouffignac cave was a pleasant surprise. Tour was in French, but the guide was considerate of English-speaking visitors and answered questions when asked. It is a very fine tour.
