Description
The village of Limeuil has been occupied since prehistoric times, when men took refuge in troglodytic shelters dug into the limestone rock. The presence of man is attested in Limeuil as early as the Magdalenian, as various excavations reveal bone fragments, carved flints and stones carved from animals. The term troglodyte comes from the Greek word for cave. The troglodytic house of Limeuil is certainly built in the hollow of a prehistoric rock shelter. Situated high up, this place allows surveillance, protection from bad weather and quick access to the fishing area. Situated halfway between Sarlat and Bergerac, on the site of a former fortified castle at the top of the village of Limeuil, these gardens offer you an unmissable view of the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers.
