 St Cirq-la-Popie, one of the prettiest villages in the Midi, is 5 kms from here. It has a beautiful setting high above the left bank o f the river and has always been popular with artists and artisans. The narrow streets wind up towards the old château and Gothic church and if you wander around the back, the view is dizzying!An easy drive from here are the Pech-Merle Caves, one of the most interesting of all the prehistoric caves in the South West. There are several large intercommunicating chambers full of amazing stalactites and stalagmites in a range of different colours, from a frosty sparkle to a deep glowing red. The eerie beauty of these vast subterranean rooms are believed to have led man to use the caves as a kind of temple, to which he added his own superb drawings of bison, mammoths, horses and deer, signed in places by an open fingered hand.
