Grand Périgueux Tourisme

Guided tour of the Villars Cave

CavesGuided tours

Only 15 minutes from Brantôme, the Villars Cave is the only cave in Dordogne to combine natural concretions and rock paintings. A must visit of the Périgord Vert. The guided tour plunges you into a fascinating universe of stalactites, stalagmites and draperies. Midway through, a sound and light show traces the history of the cave over the millennia. An organ of discovery: admire the paintings left by prehistoric artists almost 20,000 years ago.

New 2026: the visit enriches with the opening to the public of the Hall of Chaos, a vast room richly concretized, making the experience even more impressive.
