La Roque St-Christophe is a pre-historic troglodyte site dating from the Mousterian era, which has been lived in by successive generations of man. Its situation is very dramatic with good views, rising vertically 80m from the Vezère valley. The whole site is over half a mile long and rises in five galleries dug out from the rock. The fascinating remains of some of the buildings can be seen – like the Church, as well as some medieval weaponry, while other parts of the site have been excellently reconstructed.

This photo was taken in one of the many cave galleries, this one was set up to show how it could have looked for many hundreds of years ago. As it was taken in early March I was able to get an understanding of how cold they would have been. May be being chased by a bear was a way to keep warm. :)

It was cold, damp and poorly lit. But just enough light not to use the flash. The image was sized for TE, framed and sharpened slightly.
