Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil, Prehistoric settlement in Dordogne, France
Located at the confluence of the Vézère and Beune rivers, Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil exhibits numerous caves and rock shelters within limestone cliffs.
The discovery of five Cro-Magnon skeletons in 1868 by geologist Louis Lartet established Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil as a fundamental site for early human research.
The National Museum of Prehistory presents extensive collections of Paleolithic artifacts, including tools, sculptures, and everyday objects from ancient settlements.
The town contains 350 accommodation units, ranging from hotels to campsites, and connects to major transportation networks through the SNCF railway and A89 motorway.
The area maintains the largest concentration of prehistoric sites in Europe, with multiple caves featuring preserved paintings dating back over 20,000 years.
