Discover CAMPING LA COMBE in Les Eyzies, Dordogne

From Terrasson-Lavilledieu to Limeuil, where the Vézère joins the Dordogne, the river runs through one of the most beautiful regions of the Périgord. This fifth stage will take you from Eyzies to Le Bugue. Located at the confluence of the Beune and the Vézère, the village of Les Eyzies is sometimes called the "world capital of prehistory". You will discover a multitude of archaeological sites such as the Cro-Magnon shelter, the Font de Gaume cave or the Pataud shelter. Information sites are also present in the village: the Pôle International de Préhistoire and the Musée National de Préhistoire. Then go to Le Bugue via the hamlet of Peuch and the village of St Cirq.

The train station of Les Eyzies, located at 700 meters from the village center, allows direct access to the heart of the Vézère valley and to the heart of prehistory. Indeed, the village hosts an impressive density of prehistoric sites, or sites dedicated to prehistory. For walkers, the "Micoque loop" leads from the village under the high cliffs of Laugerie to the Micoque deposit, a site which has revealed traces of occupation dating back at least 350,000 years

The Vézère valley is a haven of nature, surrounded by forests and limestone cliffs. Of course, the absence of big cities and industrial areas is a big part of the explanation.

The intercommunal VéloRoute Voie Verte project aims to link the north and south of the valley (60km), from Limeuil to Aubas, and connect with other national VéloRoutes Voies Vertes at both ends: to the north, it links up with the Flow Vélo, an itinerary leading from Ile d'Aix to Sarlat La Canéda, via Coly-Saint-Amand. to the south, the route joins the VéloRoute Voie Verte - V91 - project, which runs along the Dordogne valley to the Lot and Gironde regions, partly on a low-traffic road from Les Eyzies to Aubas, via the famous Lascaux cave. More undulating, this itinerary is ideal for cyclists ready for a challenge, but also allows the less athletic to join the voie verte: a beautiful combination of natural landscapes and historic sites punctuate these routes.

The Vézère valley has a rare density of prehistoric sites. In Les Eyzies, a village often referred to as the "world capital" of prehistory, the La Micoque loop gives you the keys to "350,000 years of human occupation in the Vézère valley".

Lussac is a hamlet in the northwest of the town of St Cyprien. These are some houses grouped around the church dedicated to St Barthélémy. Lussac was once a parish in its own right, mentioned in the 14th century as an outbuilding of the Bigaroque castle. Abandoned in the last century, the church lost its roof in the 1960s; it fell into ruin when a local donator decided to restore it. The church was rebuilt in 1980/1981. By these modillons, by the simplicity of the plan and the general sobriety, the church St Barthélémy of Lussac is similar to many rural churches of the Romanesque Perigord.
