アゼラート周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ12

A worthwhile visit, even if it's not the original cave. But the replica is very well done, and the self-guided tour with the audio guide, also in German, explains everything in a very interesting way.

View of the Vézère

This excursion takes visitors far back into prehistoric times. And the place - like the Vézère valley in the French Périgord - is not only marked as one (of many) highlights in the komoot system: UNESCO has also recognized the surprisingly well-preserved, ancient rock paintings and - quite rightly - awarded them the coveted title of World Heritage Site. The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" documents these special places from all eras and continents in quarter-hour contributions.

"The earliest known works of art of mankind were created in Europe over thirty thousand years ago. The continent was still largely covered by glaciers. This did not stop the ancestor of modern man, the Cro Magnon, from decorating rocks and caves with wonderful paintings, engravings and sculptures. The Vézère valley in the French Périgord is a particularly rich treasure trove of this work. Since the discovery of the Lascaux cave, the Sistine Chapel of prehistory, science has had to say goodbye to the primitive ancestors from the Ice Age. A total of 147 prehistoric sites and 23 caves with rock paintings have been designated as cultural monuments." is what this prominent world cultural heritage site says about which a film documentary in German is available in the ARD media library: => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/vezere-frankreich-folge-227/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg1MTQ2

Hautefort Castle, located on a rocky outcrop overlooking the town and village of Hautefort, is a rare example of classical architecture in the Dordogne. Built from the 16th to the 17th century on the foundations of an old castle, its architecture is reminiscent of the castles of the Loire. The construction, led by architects Nicolas Rambourg and Jacques Maigret, was intended for the family of the Marquis de Hautefort, close to the king and influential at Court, renowned for their generosity towards the poor. During the Revolution, the castle was protected by the inhabitants of Hautefort, who repelled a revolutionary troop from Excideuil wanting to destroy it. At the beginning of the 20th century, the castle was in ruins, having lost its furniture, its woodwork and parquet floors. In 1929, it was bought by the Baron and Baroness de Bastard, who undertook a complete restoration. After the Baron's death in 1957, the Baroness continued the work alone. A fire in 1968 destroyed the central building, leaving only the charred exterior walls. Thanks to national and local generosity, as well as the support of personalities, Baroness de Bastard undertook a second restoration, even selling her works of art to finance the work. The facades, frames, ceilings, decorations and rooms were reconstructed identically from photos. The woodwork of the Château de Kerlaudy was recovered and the castle was completely refurnished. In 1977, Baroness de Bastard moved back into the castle and opened it to visitors. In 1984, she created the Château de Hautefort Foundation, to which she donated the building, its estate and its furniture. Today, the interiors not open to the public are still being restored. The French gardens, recreated by the baron and baroness, extend into terraces around the castle, with flowered boxwood embroidery beds and are classified as historic monuments. An English-style park of 30 hectares extends on the hill to the west of the castle.
