Font-de-Gaume still admits a few dozen people a day to originals; Lascaux is a facsimile because breath destroyed the real one within fifteen years of opening.
This page exists because Sarlat & the Dordogne has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from.
