Village des Farges

Situated to the north of Montignac-Lascaux, bordered to the south by the Vézère river, discover the broad horizons of the village of Les Farges.

The Commune extends over Jurassic and Cretaceous limestone plateaux whose altitude varies from 200 to 260 m. A bastion of 100 metres dominates the valley of the Vézère to the east and the Cern to the north. A whole pattern of peaks and troughs provides many viewpoints and lookouts.

To the south of the commune, on the large hill of Cheylard, built of sandstone & limestone, the remains of the church of the former parish of Cheylard from the 18th century still exist. A small rural public road leads to the ruins with its Romanesque nave, bell tower-wall, 11th century pulpit (barrel vaulted) and next to it still a few graves from the old medieval cemetery.
