English
- Once upon a time on the hill of Lascaux, there was the restaurant de l'Ours. A few minutes from the center of Montignac, sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the city, this establishment welcomes you to an unusual location. Come and have lunch under a covered and shaded terrace, in the heart of the forest, in a place steeped in history, close to a major Neanderthal site: the Neanderthal site of Régourdou.
  
  At lunchtime, à la carte or as set menus, we offer regional dishes, classics of French cuisine, salads, snacks and menus adapted for your children.
  
  Whether you have a few minutes to enjoy an ice cream, a coffee or a sandwich or a few hours to enjoy your meal with family, friends or colleagues, we invite you to share a pleasant moment.
  Find it on the Guide du Périgord's Blog...
  Visit to the Regourdou site: its museum, its park and its live bears

When we arrived we were very kindly greated by a lady a the register. After confirming we were there for a tour, she asked us to wait for 20-ish minutes for the previous tour to finish. We used this time to have a coffee at the cozy tables just outside. Prices for drinks were very reasonable. After finishing our drinks, our guide came over and introduced himself. Very cool dude with perfectly understandable English. He speaks fast, but not too fast. This also makes the tour quick paced, so you don't feel bored. Contents of the museum were interesting and the guide managed to tie everything together with a great explanatory story. He also had lots of extra knowledge on the subject and was happy to answer any questions. After the musuem tour, which in our case was already about an hour, we got to see the bears. They are housed in a well maintained enclosure that looks about the same size per bear as most zoos I've seen. The bears are not forced to come out, but they react when their name is called and are happy to come out of their hole for some apples. As far as I could tell these bears are properly housed and well taken care of. Near the end of the tour, we learned from the guide that the lady who served our drinks is the landlord of the whole domain and a relative of the man who did the original excavation. I thought that was pretty neat. All in all, great tour at fair price. I would recommend a visit if you go see Lascaux.
