    • Unusual themed cottages, 15 minutes from Sarlat, the Medieval City of the Périgord Noir

      Ideally located in the heart of the Périgord Noir, between Sarlat and the Vézère Valley ( Montignac, the Lascaux Caves ), the Prehistogite offers you the rental of 4 themed gîtes. Here you are immersed in the reconstruction of a prehistoric shelter... But with all modern comforts !

      From the outside, almost nothing suggests the unusual atmosphere of these comfortable and unusual lodgings. Rustic wooden furniture, animal skins, plastered walls then decorated with great talent, cave paintings evoking those of the Lascaux Caves and the surrounding area... The lodgings are perfect for 2 to 4 people, they all consist of a double bed, nestled in an alcove entirely decorated with subdued lighting. Installed there, you are like in a troglodyte shelter, adorned with superb paintings of different shades of ochre, brown, black... A change of scenery guaranteed! 3 lodgings also have a sofa bed and can then accommodate 4 people. Wifi, television, bathroom, WC... Only the decoration is prehistoric, everything else is very comfortable, modern and clean.

      Perfect for small families, the Préhistogite is also popular with couples. The owners offer a selection of local products, arranged into 3 menus. You can, by ordering it 24 hours in advance, have it delivered to the gîte to enjoy it quietly, without having to go out to enjoy this very special atmosphere. All the products offered come from local farms and are chosen for their taste qualities, the quantities are generous and a selection of drinks with or without alcohol will be offered to you.

      For everyone's enjoyment in summer, the Préhistogite has a swimming pool, to cool off, do some laps and relax after a day of sightseeing. It is also possible to enjoy a real and large Jacuzzi / Spa (all year round). The gîtes are available for rent all year round, they are heated, some with a wood stove, to prolong the atmosphere!

      Saint-Geniès is a pretty little town, with a charming village center, houses with slate roofs, a castle, restaurants and local shops. A magnificent market takes place on Sunday mornings, all year round and the night-time gourmet market is held on Wednesday evenings in season. From Saint-Geniès, it is very quick to get to Sarlat, but also to the Dordogne Valley, to visit Gardens, Castles, Charming Villages, canoeing, kayaking, gabarre rides on the Dordogne... On the other side, it is the Vézère Valley which awaits you, with its sites of visits, caves, rock shelters but also castles and villages. And why not take a day trip to the Lot or Corrèze which are also less than an hour away? For a holiday with a change of scenery, in the heart of one of the most beautiful regions of the Dordogne and the Périgord Noir, think of Préhistogite!

    A lovely little weekend getaway. The owner is incredibly attentive to his guests; we were served a very generous meal for around forty euros, including spa treatments and a wellness massage, followed by breakfast in the morning. A warm and welcoming host who truly cares about his guests. The accommodation is clean and comfortable (++++). I highly recommend it.

    We spent a night in this gîte in May and everything was great. From the welcome to the decor and the meal. A big thank you to Eric for his warm and kind welcome.
