The Vézère river is a 190 km long river in the south-western France. Its source is in the north-western Massif Central. It flows south-west through the following départements and cities:
* Corrèze: Pérols-sur-Vézère, Bugeat, Uzerche, Vigeois, Brive-la-Gaillarde
* Dordogne: Montignac, Terrasson-Lavilledieu, Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil, Le Bugue
It flows into the Dordogne near Le Bugue. A tributary of the Vézère is the Corrèze River.
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).
