Montignac-Lascaux is a commune in the Dordogne department in southwestern France, primarily known for the Lascaux Cave complex discovered in 1940. This small town, situated along the Vézère River, gained worldwide recognition when four teenagers stumbled upon what would become one of the most significant prehistoric art sites in the world.
The Lascaux caves contain remarkable Paleolithic cave paintings dating back approximately 17,000 years. The original cave has been closed to the public since 1963 to preserve the artwork, but visitors can experience exact replicas at Lascaux II and the more recent Lascaux IV Centre International de l'Art Pariétal.
The town, with its medieval architecture and traditional Périgord character, serves as an important gateway to understanding human cultural heritage and prehistoric art. Beyond its prehistoric significance, Montignac-Lascaux maintains its character as a typical French rural community, with local markets and traditional architecture reflecting the Périgord region's rich cultural heritage.
