Archaeology Courses at La Borie du Four

If archaeology is your passion, then Perigord is your place. In this corner of France, fascinating evidence of human dwelling dates back tens of thousands of years.

Fifty years ago, Glyn Daniel, the exuberant Disney Professor of Archaeology at Cambridge, visited Periogord and was enthused by all that he found there. As a result, he penned the famous book, ‘The Hungry Archaeologist’, detailing his inspiring tours of the painted caves of the Dordogne and whetting readers appetites with his accompanying enthusiasm for the artistic and gastronomic masterpieces of the region.

And now, with Gite Allure and Keith Gardner of the Council for British Archaeology, you too can become a hungry archaeologist and follow in Daniel’s footsteps witnessing the great type-sites of the Perigord including La Micoque and La Madeleine. You can enter the painted caves, such as Font de Gaume, Les Combarelles and Lascaux II and, like Daniel, complement your daily learning with the delicious wines of Bergerac and the gastronomic delights of Perigord cuisine.

Our week long, fully guided archaeology tour will take you through the National Museum of Prehistory and then transport you through the stunning sites, sounds and scenery of Perigord so that you experience an amazing amount about prehistoric man while enjoying the very best catering and cuisine that the Dordogne has to offer.
