History & Context

The Dordogne-Périgord-Gascony region in France This southwestern region of France has many claims to fame: Cro-Magnon painted caves, a certain literary Musketeer, Cognac, Armagnac, truffles, and pâté de fois gras. It is an area with deep traditional roots and historic importance. The beaches along the coast are probably the most popular destinations, such as Biarritz on the Côte d'Argent; however, there are many wonderfully beautiful and enchanting places to visit inland. Dordogne is a beautiful area of canyons and cliffs and where many limestone caves and prehistoric cave paintings can be toured. The rock and mineral formations in these caves are spectacular. In 1940, two boys and their dog discovered Cro-Magnon paintings at Lascaux. Visitors can see an exact re-recreation of the paintings at Lascaux II, just a few minutes' walk from the original site. The perspective in these drawings is quite sophisticated and the techniques those ancient artists used are fascinating.
