Archaeological Sites & Ruins

Nouvelle-Aquitaine’s archaeological landscape spans millennia, from the world-renowned Upper Paleolithic cave paintings of Lascaux and Rouffignac to the Roman amphitheater of Vesunna in Périgueux. The region features significant Neolithic megaliths like the Dolmen d'Ors and defensive medieval structures, including the UNESCO-listed gates of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Evocative ruins like the overgrown Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers and the fortress of Bidache illustrate centuries of architectural evolution and historical conflict across southwestern France.
