Payrignac - Cougnac Caves
The Grottes de Cougnac have cave drawings of the Magdalenian period (15,000-17,000 B.C.).
This historic monument includes several galleries. The first gallery is full of stalagmites, while the second has early prehistoric drawings of ibexes, mammoths, deer, hunters and indecipherable signs, as well as numerous fingerprints. There is evidence that the cave has not been used since prehistoric times.
