I'm very interested in history and love seeing the real thing, so I really enjoyed going deep into a cave and seeing actual prehistoric drawings done by ice-age hunters. The drawing themselves are quite impressive as artworks even if you ignore their age. While they are just black lines on light stone, but the animals have a sense of life and immediacy to them.As the other reviewers say, it's a long ride and a short time looking, so how much you get out of visiting the cave depends on how interested you are in the subject. For me, this was a highlight of my trip to France, right up there with La Sainte Chapelle and the Van Goghs at the Orsay.

This large decorated cave allows visitors to view the original drawings of pre-historic man. You travel into the cave via a small "railway" and the drawings are only illuminated as you approach them. This is to preserve the integrity of the drawings and minimize the impact of the many visitors who tour this cave. For this reason, as well, the number of visitors are limited and the one hour tours are scheduled. I would imagine that it would be best to get there well before the first tour of the morning or the afternoon. We were there in October and we only had a short wait. The guided tour is in French but there are viseo-guides in 10 languages. We also found that our guide made an effort to answer our questions in English.

In beautiful countryside, the cave itself was awesome. Electric train takes you on tour deep underground, stopping at cave drawings. These looked ho-hum on the computer screen at home, but in person had a special feeling, like being close to someone from 13000 years ago. Our particular tour was all French, but the guide gave us an interesting quick explanation in English of some points. We really liked it.

I had wanted to visit a "real" cave to complement the visit to Lascaux II. We chose this as the least complicated and easiest to visit. (Others seemed to demand standing in line at an early hour on the chance you might get in.) It was interesting to see the line drawings created so many thousands of years ago by our ancestors, and the guide did a good job of supplementing the audio resources.

I thought about giving this turkey two stars. However, there are some amazing 13,000-year-old drawings that are worth seeing. If there were a way to see these drawings in a 20 minute stretch, I would recommend it highly. Unfortunately the only way to see them is as part of an hour long train ride accompanied by a French monologue. There are no English tours, and the provided "tour guide" encompasses about 1 1/2 pages total. A 40 minute tour of Lascaux is more interesting, more informative, and has more amazing cave paintings. I can recommend Rouffignac only to those people who have extra time.

We only had time to visit one cave and were able to get into this one easily in late morning. It's a stunner. The open little train takes one deep inside the cave. I was shocked at how far the art was from the opening, and how it could have been created by the light of smokey fires . There are lots of animal drawings, more than I expected, beautifully integrated into the rock walls, using the rock texture to augment the artist's renderings. Truly mind-blowing to see. If you have to wait for the next train, there is a restroom, gift shop, no cafe.

We arrived just before 4pm and were afraid we would be too late to experience this tour as it closed at 5pm. However, a coach party had booked and were were asked if we would like to wait and get the last train at 5pm. This gave us ample time to read the ipod guide in English (cost 1.5 euro) ahead of the train trip. They didn't try and sell us two but said we could share. Be warned, you go deep into the caves and it is cold, so dress appropriately. We had a fleece blanket in the car which came in very useful! There were only 8 people on our tour. Although the tour was predominately in French, our guide spoke a little English and he made sure we understood what we were looking at, pointing out individual paintings and animals scratched into the cave sides. The little train travels though multiple bear pits made by Cave Bears. There are paintings along the sides of the caves and the train stops frequently to allow good views. We were able to get off the train and stand surrounded by cave art; bison, ibex, mammoths, woolly rhinos, all depicted on the walls and all over the ceiling. It was brilliant. Even though we were the last tour of the day, our guide did not rush us out and we in fact took about an hour and a quarter to return back to the start. Our most enjoyable cave visit.

This was our first time seeing ancient cave drawings in Europe and we were impressed. We arrived, bought our tickets and were able to board the train through the cave within 10 minutes. The guides only speak French So if you need to listen in another language, purchase the electronic guide for 1.5 euros. It was very informative. It is mind boggling to imagine seeing art that was made over 12,000 years ago. How could you not be impressed.

We went here after visiting three prehistoric sites with cave art, this was therefore much later in history and very different. I had hoped for a couple of reconstructed dwellings but was to be disappointed, having said that it was well worh seeing for the fabulous views alone.

We arrived at 1200 only to be told we could only get on the last train into the caves which was 1730 making us think that this must be a wonderful experience being so popular. How wrong can you get! We booked it and then had several hours to kill in a region without much else.If you could book and turn up thirty minutes before it probably would have been ok but for the length of our drive to get there it wasn't. If they kept going through 12-1400 maybe people wouldn't have to wait so long but that would mean staggering their lunch hours, Sacrebleu !Everything is in French so if you don't speak it fluently don't bother. You can rent an ipad leaving your driving licence as collateral with a written guide but then you don't look at the caves because you're reading..The artwork is ok and when I pointed out something to my son the guide let rip in French thinking I had touched his precious ceiling that by the way had graffiti on from the 1950's.All in all don't bother unless you want to waste a day..
