Planning a trip to Lascaux (Montignac)

Getting There — By far, the easiest way to reach Montignac is to drive northeast from Les Eyzies on D706 for 19km (12 miles).

Rail service is to the neighboring hamlet of Condat-Le-Lardin, 9.5km (6 miles) northeast. From there, taxis (tel. 05-53-51-80-46) take visitors to Montignac for 25€. If no taxis are waiting, a railway station employee will call one for you. For train information, visit sncf-connect.com or call 36-35.
