The Vézère Valley is famed for its cave systems, containing numerous cave paintings and early-human remains. UNESCO collectively designated these a World Heritage Site in 1979. Among the sites included is the famous Lascaux cave system. (The one with stone age paintings of bison and deer and things on the cave walls).
