🏢 About the local organisation

Montignac became known worldwide as one of the cradles of humanity with the discovery of the Cave of Lascaux. Built on the riverbanks of the Vézère, the small town is in full cultural and tourism bloom during the summer. However, the city council does not forget the smaller and more discrete heritage of the village, witness of the life of our not-so-distant ancestors: two wash houses await you to regain all their splendour. On the program, masonry, brushing, cleaning and good mood! And in this country known for its gastronomy, Périgord has plenty of options for gourmet opportunities...
