La Roque Saint Christophe
A Karen Brown Recommendation
La Roque Saint Christophe, Aquitaine, France |
| Recenter Map To This Location |
La Roque Saint Christophe is the location of a prehistoric community. As the road winds by the river, a sheer cliff rises to a deep natural terrace before continuing upwards. As long ago as 70,000 B.C. man took advantage of this natural terrace for shelter and by medieval times it was home to over 1,000 people. The thousands of niches that you see today were used to hold up supporting beams for the houses and the rings you see carved into the rock were used to hang lamps and to tether animals.
