The Grotte des Combarelles (same hours as Font-de-Gaume; €5.34; maximum six people per tour), 2km along the D47 towards Sarlat, was discovered in 1910. The innermost part of the cave is covered with engravings from the Magdalenian period (about 12,000 years ago). Drawn over a period of 2000 years, many are superimposed one upon another. They include horses, reindeer, mammoths and stylized human figures - among the finest are the heads of a horse and a lioness.

As with Font-de-Gaume, prebooking is essential, especially in peak season (same phone and fax); collect tickets from Font-de-Gaume
