LES GROTTES DU ROC DE CAZELLE

  Until recently, the site was continuously inhabited, even during prehistoric times. It was excavated and developed into a fortified castle during the Middle Ages then, at the turn of the century, converted into private housing. Numerous exhibits ans scenes depicting our ancestors lives lead you through a chronological journey from prehistory,to the Middle Ages,and up to 1966.
The last inhabitants were a family couple who settled into a monolithic house entirely carved into the rock. This traditional habitat has been sympathetically restored in keeping with local Perigordian history and customs. Nearby is a large collection of antique artefacts and trools, and the home for our friendly farm animals.
The tour is equipped with instructionalsigns, offering a clear and time-based interpretation of the cliff's use throughout the ages.
This recent restoration has been carried out with a great attention to maintaining the spirit of the place its past.
