How was the Lascaux cave discovered? By playing children who discovered this major French archaeological site by following their dog. An amazing story that took place during the Second World War.
There's so much beauty in Bordeaux! When you set out to discover this magnificent city and its unique heritage, when you sit back and watch the sun play on the white stones or the Garonne River sparkle, you'll have no doubt that you're visiting one of France's largest and most beautiful cities. Here are the 7 wonders of Bordeaux. Discover them first, but it would be a shame to stop there.
This is one of France's most beautiful and historic regions: Périgord. Mainly in the Dordogne, it's a land of castles, nature and gastronomy. There are 4 Périgords: green (around Brantôme), purple (around Bergerac), white (around Périgord) and black (around Sarlat la Canéda). And it's the black Périgord that I'd like you to discover here.
