The location of Le Manoir des Granges means that access to all the main visitor sites of both the Vezere Valley and the Dordogne are within a 30 minute drive. Just across the valley, on the other side of the river, is the incredible Roque Saint Christophe, a rock shelter that was used as a dwelling from 55,000 years ago.  Later, during the Middle Ages and up until the Renaissance Period, they gradually changed to become a fortress and protected town.
