Les Eyzies,Dordogne
There are so many quaint villages in France and Les Eyzies has the added advantage of having a campsite within walking distance.
We came here specifically to visit Lascaux.
In the 1940s, extensive cave art dating back over 20000 years was discovered in a cave in this area.
Tourist access to the cave caused damage to the paintings so it was closed in the 60s. A museum was built instead and then in 2016 a complete replica of the cave was opened to the public. It's an amazing place to visit.
The nearby town of Montignac- Lascaux is quaint but touristy but even so we did while away a few pleasant hours in a little bistro as we love to do.
Another French favourite of mine is Cafe Gourmand...A plate of three of four miniture desserts served with an expresso!
