In Les Eyzies, near the Grand Roc cave, in the limestone cliff overlooking the Vézère, the prehistoric shelter of Laugerie Basse bears witness to multiple and successive human occupation from the end of the Magdalenian (the Cro-Magnon Man 15,000 years ago) to the Middle Ages. This deposit is an exceptional site for the quantity, diversity and often the quality of the 600 or so works of art that have been discovered there.
On the Laugerie-Basse site, you visit the "abri des Marseilles" (the other part of the site was built and is still inhabited today) and discover why and how men came back to the site many times. A film explains the formation of this type of shelter, and a room presents you with copies of the most beautiful pieces: an engraved bone washer, a harpoon, a statue of a horse's head and the female figurine called the "shameless Venus".
This establishment is Accueil Vélo and offers specific services for cyclists.
