A few weeks ago I posted about the Prehistory Welcome Centre in Les Eyzies. That Centre, while useful, is but the tip of the iceberg when it comes to prehistory-focussed tourism in and around the town of Les Eyzies.

The Vezere River valley is the cradle of mankind in Europe, the oldest continually-inhabited human settlement, and Les Eyzies is its focal point. In the immediate area there are more painted caves, ancient dwellings, and sculpted underground grottoes than you could shake a prehistoric stick at.

In the video below, which advertises a Dordogne walking tour, you can preview some of the regional highlights.
