10/10
We went to Montignac specifically to see the Lascaux 4 reconstruction of the ancient caves. It would have been nice to see the original, but I very much support the idea of limiting human access to the real cave to minimize potential damages from our breathing. Limiting access to genuine researchers and very much limiting even their access is a way to preserve this archaeological wonder well into the future.
If you canât make a trip to Montignac, look for a visit from Lascaux 3, the traveling copy to come to a city near you.
Lascaux 4 was only about 10 minutes away, but all of the shops of this little village are even closer. The boulangerie was on the corner about 50 m from the house, restaurants, a laundromat, banks and a tourism office were all just short walks past the boulangerie.
One word of caution, the stairs are a bit funky. Old, uneven steps on the first flight, and you will go up and down that flight a lot. Bath, toilet and one bedroom are on the premier Ă©tage which Americans would call the second floor. Two more bedrooms are one flight above that, and those steps are steep and the railing is a bit irregular. At 6â8â I had plenty of headroom everywhere, except the front door. If you are tall, make sure you duck going in or out.
