Description
This large prehistoric settlement is on the south bank of the Vezere River. La Roque St Christophe is the largest troglodyte site in Europe.
There is an extensive series of caves that have been carved out of the soft limestone cliff, initially by the action of the river.
Approximately 55,000 years ago man first started to inhabit these natural caves. It was from the 6th - 16th centuries that the cliff also became developed as a village, with numerous buildings and fortifications backing onto the cliff. It seems likely that the village was occupied continuously during this entire period, until it was finally abandoned in 1588.
