SAS 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 last century, converted into private housing. Numerous exhibits and 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 farming 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 tools, and the home for our friendly farm animals.
The tour is equipped with instructional signs, 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 and its past.
