This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a significant rock shelter and prehistoric settlement that gave its name to the Magdalenian culture of the Upper Paleolithic. Inhabited by Cro-Magnon people, the site has yielded major archaeological finds, including a mammoth ivory carving and a 20,000-year-old bison carving.
The site shows evidence of continuous occupation from prehistoric times through to the early modern era. Medieval features include troglodytic dwellings carved directly into the cliffs, a rock-hewn church, and the ruins of a castle.
Designated as a Monument historique, the location is part of the Vézère Valley's protected prehistoric sites. It serves as a primary example of cliffside habitation and rock-hewn architecture.
