Those who think France only has castles and wines,
then you better think again. It is not only the perfect romantic get-away. It
is also the haven of any history and adventure lover. So better, prepare those
boots, jeans, and shirts and enter into numerous caves in France.
The Dordogne
Region
This area in France is known
for its prehistoric caves. It will never disappoint you so make sure you are
prepared to get wet. However, it is highly recommended for you to find a
vacation house because a week will never be enough to satisfy your craving for
this place filled with natural beauty, great cuisine, fortifications, ancient
castles, and prehistoric painted caves.
The Best Form of Transportation
The best way to explore the area is
by hiring a car. You can find many companies offering these services from Toulouse, Bordeaux, Angouleme, or Limoges airport. From there,
you can put your entire luggage and hop inside your chosen vehicle for an
entire month of escapade in the beautiful area of Dordogne.
Your children will be thrilled to join the ride with you because they will be
seeing in person wonderful places that they only see in television and in print.
The Lascaux Caves
This may be replica of the original
Lascaux Cave, which has been closed for
protection, but you can’t help but admire the commitment of all those artists
who meticulously copied the paintings. It remains absolutely gorgeous with the
gorgeous rich black ochre and deep red tints used by the prehistoric humans.
Interestingly, you will only see images of animals on the caves and no hint of
flowers or plants in it.
The Cathedral of Crystal
This is visually stunning cavern.
There is a unique way offered by the tourism administration to explore the
place. You can take a ride on a suspended basket that is slowly lowered for you
to enjoy the spectacular rock formations hidden in its midst. It is a treat for
any nature lover and lover of unique adventure tours.
Gouffre de Padirac
The entrance to this cave will keep
you in anticipation. It is a long and eerie journey by boat that will allow you
to pass through a subterranean stream and variety of underground caverns that
are filled with extraordinary rock formations. Take time to enjoy the site and
the emotions you will experience through this trip and remember it for life.
There are numerous caves to explore
in Dordogne. You will have an entire month
enjoying each of these while indulging in their foi grass and truffles. It will
be a very fulfilling journey you may even wish to stay longer in its midst.
