Discover CAMPING LE MAS: Jewels of Les eyzies-de-tayac-sireuil

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 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 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".
