These pre-historic cliff-face dwellings proved very difficult to conquer.

The caves have a well all the way down to the Dordogne for water.

  7. woow the place is wonderful, a piece of heaven..!!

  8. I saw several times in recent months examples of the interior of such dwellings on television. There are many troglodytes in France. This view is magnificent. There is probably no chance of the house falling down on the other houses. lol

    Une vue magnifique! En Français, on dit (we say) qu’un troglodyte (the person living in a troglodyte) habite (lives) dans une maison/habitation (in a troglodyte house/dwelling) troglodytique.

    I followed a series on our local cable television where a péniche (houseboat) takes one through the rivers and canals of France. I saw some of the views you saw. It is evidently most pleasurable to travel on a vélo or a péniche at more or less the same speed to discover the beauty of France along the rivers.

  9. Wow Steve, Thank you for hiking up there and taking this great shot. I love it!.

    Also, thank you for making it available under a CC license. We’re using it on a post about walking in the Dordogne.

    All the best,

    Dave
