Sarlat medieval town and awe-inspiring Castelnaud castle are not to be missed. Les Eyzies, is home to the National Museum of Prehistory - when you visit with Steve Burman, he’ll bring it all alive for you!

Your base can be at the home of archaeologists, Steve & Judie Burman, ten minutes from the Lascaux world famous painted caves. The recently converted fermette (farmhouse) has ceiling fans for when it is warm, central heating for the cooler weather and thermostatic controlled showers for your comfort.

Alternatively, you can chose to stay at a hotel if you prefer.
Here are some extracts from our Visitors Book:
“An absolutely fabulous week that came to an end all too soon. The holiday format was first class with Steve being an absolute font of knowledge. ‘Till we meet again!”
“The week was a fine balance of cave visits, learning the background, pausing for coffee, excellent home-cooked meals and dinners at the most interesting places. The pace was both relaxed and full of events. Thanks!!”
