I am heading down that way in a couple of weeks to meet up with my sister-in-law and nieces....does anyone know much about the area ?

Many thanks

If I am correct not far from a little hamlet called Espedaillac, my introduction to French life, working there on an old derelict barn for an English customer. There was also an eccentric old brit in the village a Ted Boucher, right laugh he was, my introduction to the French way of life which I yearned after for the next 40 years.

Grotte de Pech Merle is a wonderful place but book your tickets online to make sure you get in.

Think the grottes we went down were at Padirac? you get rowed around in a boat good experience.

Yes that is the Gouffre de Padirac.

Grotte de Peche Merle is very different with prehistoric paintings and pre-booking is essential.

Such an unhelpful answer. The point of a post like this on a forum (and especially a small forum like this) is to elicit more personalised advice than Google can give you. Spam sites are now very prevalent on google.

Sorry, glazedallover, I have no knowledge of Figeac.

Oh dearie, dearie me..... I could of course have pointed out that it's spelt Figeac and been lambasted for being pedantic, but I gave GAO a lot more credit for subtlety than you evidently do. Get over yourself, hein?
