Lascaux

 
 
Went to Lascaux today to see the caves.  Unfortunately, because of deterioration caused by visiting hoards, the actual caves have been closed to the public since 1963.  But they have duplicated a good part of the original, including the actual shapes and contours of the rock, as well as the paintings, in an amazing replica.  Sorry, no pics allowed.  But some pretty amazing art from 17,000 years ago!
 
Spent the rest of the day wandering along the rivers Vezere and Dordogne.  Can't share the wine, but here's a couple of pics.
