Bus from Sarlat to Lascaux IV?

Greetings,

I will arrive at Sarlat on 9/23 and plan to visit the Lascaux IV cave the next day (9/24, a Saturday). I see from the following link there is a regional bus No. 7 that departs from the Sarlat train station on Saturdays at 8AM that arrives at Lascaux IV at 8:35AM. For the return trip, I see the bus leaves Lascaux IV at 1:17PM and arrives back at the Sarlat train station at 1:48PM.

Is this a bus tourists can take? I don't know French and used Google Translate but am still not 100% sure ...

Also from the link below, it seems the rate for a roundtrip ticket that's valid for the day will be €4.10? So I better have exact change.

Thank you for those who reads French and can help me confirm! :-)

You will love Sarlat….make certain that you eat at Maison Lissajoux…..they have a delicious breakfast every morning and are delightful as they host you……tell them that I sent you!……we stayed at La Lanterne, right behind the beautiful old church right in the center of old Saralt. We did not visit the caves so I cannot be any help there but would encourage you to visit the lovely gardens at Eyrignac and Les Jardins de Marqueyssac!

I took it January 2018 It is not a tourist bus just a public bus big enough for tourists for that region that tourists take. Ordinary folk going about their day take it . It was pretty empty. Just have a 5 Europe bill or exact change. Also make sure you are clear where the bus stop is that will take you back to Sarlat.
