The Perigord is renowned for it's caves and it's medieval castles and towns. Two caves sites in particular are worth mentioning.

Grotte de Villars: Guided tours, sound and light show, cafe, shop, car-park, picnic area and playground. Discovered in 1953, this is the largest underground network in the Perigord, with more than 13 kilometres explored to this day. The underground river has hollowed out huge chambers, connected to each other by galleries.

Prehistoric painings were discovered in 1958, which were made 17,000 years ago, and you will see these on the tour. Grotte de Villars is approximately 60 minutes from The Cherry Trees, and details are in the information folder, and at http://www.grotte-villars.com/
