New View Tours is pleased to offer a 11 night/12-day exploration of the castles and
Caves in the Perigord region in southwest France.
The variety of pre-historic caves hold magnificent paintings, etchings and relief
sculptures created tens of thousands of years ago. To understand the mystery of the
underground art, we invite Christine Desdemaines-Hugon to joins us in Les Eyzies
to hear her well researched interpretations. (See her book Stepping Stones, 2006)
Among our stops will be Lascaux ll (Lascaux lV in construction), Font-de-Gaume;
Rouffignac and Les Combrelles and Le Chauvet to the east.
We explore castles of Beynac and Castlenaud, where English and French kings
battled during the Hundred Years War between opposite sides of the Dordogne
River. The views will be stunning! In Bordeaux, we include the Museum of
Aquitaine & the Contemporary Art Museum; in Les Eyzies we see the amazing
National PreHistoric Museum of France.
It all comes together in medieval bastides – fortified “new towns” built by nobles –
for example Sarlat. We’ll visit the cathedral built into the mountain – Roccamadour
en route through the Lot valley to Carcassonne and our final cave, Le Chalet.
Activity level: moderate; some uneven surfaces when walking though caves,
steps to climb when visiting castles; standing during guided tours.
Hotels will be 4 star, boutique style inns. Some may have stairs without
elevator access.
