En 1940, la grotte de Lascaux est « découverte » par quatre jeunes Périgourdins de Montignac. Les 4 jeunes garçons décidèrent d’explorer la colline et agrandirent la cavité qu’ils trouvèrent pour se glisser dans la grotte…
Ils ont été les premiers à découvrir les peintures rupestres qui sont aujourd’hui mondialement connues et comptent parmi les plus anciennes œuvres d’art de l’homme et les plus belles de toutes les grottes peintes préhistoriques.
Lascaux a été ouvert au public jusqu’en 1963 ; Cependant, avec jusqu’à 1500 visiteurs par jour, le dioxyde de carbone de la respiration humaine a commencé à endommager les peintures préhistoriques.
En sortant de la grotte en 1940, Pablo Picasso aurait dit : « Nous n’avons rien inventé !
Aujourd’hui, la grotte originelle de Lascaux est fermée et est sous haute surveillance afin de préserver ce site inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.
Cependant, vous pouvez visiter la réplique du système de grottes de Lascaux IV. La réservation en ligne est fortement recommandée (surtout en été). Lascaux IV (remplaçant les premiers musées Lascaux II et III) a été inauguré en décembre 2016. Lascaux IV est une réplique exacte du site original de Lascaux et a été conçu pour évoquer le sens des abris sous roche préhistoriques pour lesquels la Dordogne est célèbre.
Un grand soin a été pris pour imiter la grotte d’origine, jusqu’aux changements de température, aux odeurs humides de la grotte, aux changements de pression atmosphérique et aux sons intérieurs de la grotte.
Les Jardins du Manoir d’Eyrignac, Monuments Historiques depuis 1986, sont parmi les Plus Beaux Jardins du Périgord, une parenthèse enchantée à quelques kilomètres de Sarlat.
Le Périgord est synonyme de châteaux. On dit qu’il y a 1001 châteaux dans le Périgord. Perchés sur des éperons rocheux, les châteaux du Périgord sont des trésors du patrimoine régional, autant que les nombreux jardins à découvrir.

Impossible d’explorer la Vallée de la Dordogne sans visiter Rocamadour. Le site emblématique du Lot, vertical et majestueux, couronné de son château, se déploie en plusieurs étages, agrippés à la falaise qui sépare le ruisseau de l’Alzou du causse de Gramat.
Aucune partie de la France n’est aussi passionnée par son patrimoine culinaire que Sarlat. La gastronomie y occupe une place prépondérante dans la vie des habitants. Cette extraordinaire culture du goût et du terroir donne aux festins d’ici une âme unique. Soyez sûrs de vivre des expériences gastronomiques inoubliables.

acekingqueenjack12 Octobre 2023Wonderful B & B My husband and I stayed here for a week in early October and it was a great choice. The owner, Jeffery Klein, is very hands on - he personally did much of the lovely renovation work on the hotel, and is a gracious host. The location of Les Cordeliers is excellent- being on the edge of the historic district and a very easy two minute walk to the beautiful, but busy, Place de la Liberte'. Our room was very comfortable, quiet, clean and attractively decorated. It was nice to be able to wander around Sarlat for awhile and come back to our room to take a break before going out again. Breakfasts were great- with lots of fresh fruit options, pastries, bread, yogurt, cereal, etc. And there is a wonderful coffee machine that brewed some fo the best coffee we had on the entire trip. Should our travels bring us back to Périgord Noir, we would definitely book a stay at Les Cordeliers again. Sarlat is the perfect base for exploring the many attractions in the area.Ben W29 Septembre 2023A Week at Les Cordeliers, in Sarlat, France My wife and I spent a week in Sarlat at the end of August 2023, staying at Les Cordeliers, a small, perfectly located B and B less than a 1 minute walk from the historic city center. This classicly renovated 19th Century stone mansion exudes the comforts enjoyed by nobility of a bygone era. Our room was comfortable and spacious. Jeffrey Klein, our host, was uncommongly attentative to detail, and more than available with suggestions designed to enhance our stay. Breakfast choices were plentiful and of high quality. We enthusiastically recommend Les Cordeliers, Sarlat and the Dordogne region to travelers interested in the world of a different era!Melissa G17 Septembre 2023Highly recommend Our host, Jeff, was magnificent. From our first encounter his passion for Sarlat and hosting was evident. Without a doubt the breakfast was the healthiest and best of our stays. The room was large and very comfortable and the town was a perfect jumping off point for our adventuresbraithwaite1228 Juin 2023Perfect Sarlat destination The perfect destination for a quality luxurious stay in a small environment. My third visit and even better this time. Our host is most welcoming and ensures he introduces all the guests to each other over breakfast. One could hardly be nearer to medieval Sarlat and the wealth of bars, cafes and bistros, let alone the interesting things to discover and see in the pld city and beautiful surrounding area.vs6824 Juin 2023Amazing property in the centre of Sarlat Absolutely beautiful hotel in Sarlat - just on the edge of the historic centre. The hotel is in a grand old building and has been painstakingly restored. Everything oozes charm, character and taste. Our room had a magnificent view over an historic square. We particularly enjoyed the really amazing breakfast. And the host was great at recommending which villages to visit. Would highly recommend this hotel to friends.fozwanderer10 Juin 2023Central location and excellent host We stayed at Les Cordeliers for 5 nights and could not have been more comfortable. Our room, Marzac, overlooked a pretty square and all the town was within easy access. Geoffrey was an excellent host, always available to ask for advice and keen to ensure our comfort. Breakfasts offered a range of options and it was lovely to be introduced to the other guests. After unloading our luggage Geoffrey advised us where to park the car for free and it was only a 5 minute walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.Lynne J7 Juin 2023A highlight of our month in France Our stay at Les Cordeliers was a highlight of our month in France. The home is beautifully restored, and we were delighted with our spacious room, the splendid breakfast, and the hospitality of our charming host.

We look forward to returning!rebeccahB9312PF14 Mai 2023Excellent, affordable lodging We had a wonderful stay here in early May.
