Grottes du roc de Cazelle, Prehistoric cave in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil, France
The Roc de Cazelle caves feature a network of natural cavities carved into limestone cliffs, creating a multi-level discovery path through ancient human settlements.
The location presents evidence of continuous human presence from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages, when it served as a fortified castle.
Life-sized reconstructions throughout the site demonstrate prehistoric daily activities with over 100 figures and animals engaged in period-specific tasks.
The caves remain open daily from 10 AM to 8 PM, offering summer educational workshops that include spear throwing and flint knapping demonstrations.
A monolithic house carved entirely from rock remained inhabited until the 1960s, preserving the traditional Périgord architectural methods.
