Archaeological site Village de la Madeleine in Tursac

You're standing at the Abri de la Madeleine, just outside the little village of Tursac in the Dordogne. Look at the rock face. It juts out a long way, creating a natural roof underneath. The French call a spot like this an abri sous-roche, a shelter under the rock. People lived here more than twenty thousand years ago, as the last ice age was coming to an end.
