After six days of riding the rain was a welcome relief. We decided to explore Les Eyzies which is about 30 minutes to the north west from Castelnaud. Although we had not been there before we were familiar with the place from all the Bruno books by Martin Walker. Aside from the Vezere river which runs along the town it is home to a prehistoric museum.
The museum is filled with artifacts predating humans highlighting the stone tools that defined their existence.
Many of the objects were excavated from the caves embedded in the hills looming above.
We are always amazed by the structures built into these cliffs.
Aside from the historic displays the Marrie (Town Hall) caught our eye.
In traditional French style the museum closed for lunch at 12:30 so we decided we had seen enough so it was time to find a place to eat. This place had an extensive menu but the crepes won out over the routine burger. One with duck and the other with mushrooms and an egg. It was a delicious alternative.
