Directions Deposits of Castel Merle - Listed archaeological site in Périgord Noir in Sergeac

About

  • English
    • Located in the heart of the Vézère Valley, between Montignac-Lascaux and Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, this authentic and listed archaeological site presents rock shelters occupied by our hunter-gatherer ancestors. These deposits allow you to understand the daily life of homo sapiens through quality guided tours and you can also experience their daily life through numerous activities (thrower shooting, wall painting, fire lighting, etc.).

      You can also visit one of the rare shelters decorated with sculptures still open to visitors. This site has been the subject of numerous archaeological excavations. Its collections include thousands of items of adornment, including mammoth ivory beads, perforated marine shells, and pierced animal teeth.

      For groups (minimum 15 people), visits are available year-round by reservation. In this case, an entertainment program is proposed and chosen with the organizers.
