This is a very good restaurant with the best garlic soup I've had. In the summer it is crowded and it's best to make reservations.

Good place to rent a canoe. My favorite is rather long. They take you Saint-Leon-sur-Vezere and you paddle back to Les Eyzies. About 4 hours. They have shorter ones as well.

Wonderful restaurant. Outside terrace and lovely inside room and barn with tables. Food is very good and cooked from local produce and all the meat is from locally raised, grass-fed animals.

This is one of my favorite villages. A lovely place to have lunch then canoe along the river. The 11th century church is a beautiful example of the use of sacred geometry.
