Here we have the situation – previously completely unknown to me and therefore surprising – that MADELEINE, a Christian saint (the name is derived from the biblical "Mary Magdalene"), has become the namesake of an era from the proverbial "dim prehistory" (one to one and a half dozen millennia before the beginning of our era). To paraphrase it from Wikipedia, which can explain it better than I can: "The Magdalenian is an archaeological cultural stage in the younger part of the Upper Paleolithic in Central and Western Europe at the end of the last Ice Age. The Magdalenian was named in 1869 by Gabriel de Mortillet after the semi-cave La Madeleine in the Dordogne department. It spanned an approximate period from approximately 18,000 to 12,000 BC."

A unique troglodyte site in the world, Roque Saint-Christophe is a limestone wall 80 meters high and one kilometer long. Dug by the river and the frost, it contains around a hundred rock shelters and aerial terraces. The site has been occupied by man since prehistoric times, before becoming a fort and a medieval city. The site, on which you can discover numerous reconstructions, is open all year round. It can be visited, subject to an entrance fee.

Welcome to the capital of prehistory! This is the nickname given to this modest village which follows the course of the Vézère. It must be said that the extraordinary sites that you can visit are numerous. In addition to the very richly supplied national museum, I encourage you to go to the Pôle de la préhistoire. Building entirely dedicated to this science and free. Find out about all the prehistoric marvels that can be admired in and around the town. They are not missing. It is not without reason that the Vézère valley has been nicknamed the valley of man.

The impressive rocky slope La Roque de Saint-Christophe above the Vézère valley is the result of deposits and erosion caused by the waves and currents of a primeval sea and the effects of the last ice ages. It stretches over a kilometer in length and is more than 80m high. The car ride along the wall to the visitor parking lot is an experience in itself. The rock face has 5 terraces that have been settled, enlarged and fortified in different stages. First it served as a shelter for hunters and gatherers (from 50,000 years BC) and then for Cro-Magnon man (from 25,000 BC). From the Neolithic period onwards, the rock terraces were continuously inhabited and expanded. The most important period was probably from the early Middle Ages, when the rock was developed as a fortress against the raids and conquests of the Vikings, who sailed their ships up the rivers and captured the cities on it: the Seine (capture of Rouen), the Garonne (taking Agen, Toulouse, Bordeaux) until they were finally defeated. In 1588 the history of settlement finally ended due to the destruction during the Wars of Religion. The complex was beautifully and lovingly reconstructed and various rooms were clearly explained on boards. In a so-called “Abri” (shelter under the rock overhang), a film explains the eventful history of the rock face. A great experience, especially when you think about how many generations of people have already moved their feet over the rocks here. Today the rock face belongs to the many birds that nest in the small and large caves.
