The most famous site, Lascaux, is decorated with cave paintings dating from the prehistoric period. The troglodyte fort built in the cliff of La Roque-Gageac as well as the troglodyte village of La Madelaine in Tursac are curiosities that the region offers to discover.
The Périgord Noir is also home to a number of diverse and varied gardens: the gardens of the manor of Eyrignac, the panoramic gardens of Limeuil, the gardens of Marqueyssac, and the water gardens of Carsac created on an ancient Gallo-Roman site.
