Congratulations; those things book up early in January. We have done Font du Gaume twice and Roffignac twice -- Font du Gaume is amazing -- you really feel the sense of standing in front of the work of great artists.

Awesome. We did Lascaux last time and we really enjoyed it, so we are signing up for more this time.

Awesome! As a non-anthropologist, I found the Cave Painters to be very educational reading before and during my Dordogne visit.

Good Matt. We emailed around January 5th last year before the website was updated for 2016. I hope a lot of people see your post and reserve now. That will Help a lot of people who want to visit Font de Gaume.

Matt, did you get tickets for only the adults in your party? In my request, I specified 2 adults and 1 child (age). But, my confirmation says 2 tickets. Just want to make sure this sounds right before I reply with payment. I realize under age 18 are free, but I assumed they would need a ticket due to the restrictions. Thanks for any help!
