From Wikitravel

Jump to: navigation, search

Montignac is an old town, quite near Lascaux, on the Vézère River, in France.

[edit] Get in

There are at least three car parks in Montignac, and many roads leading in; use car or bus to get there.

[edit] Get around

There are quite a few roads through Montignac; at least a quarter are pedestrianized, so it is mostly best to walk. If you are driving, be aware that the town operates a one way system.

  • Visit the Chateau de Reignac
  • Hire a canoe from one of the many kayak tours and enjoy up to 6hours of river scenery. Don't forget the sunscreen even if its overcast!
  • Crazy Golf course. Can be found by following the footpaths under the new bridge.

[edit][add listing] Buy

There are several shops, and, of course, the busy market place. It really is very busy on market days, so be careful where you walk (and what you buy of course). Beside the tourist office and the ticket office for Lascaux's Cave II there is an exhibition area selling local goods and produce and along near the main car park is another building that specialises in selling goods from South American, African and Asians countries.

[edit][add listing] Eat

Several restaurants are existant around the town, with good French food.
