My DIL just got a round trip ticket to Poland for 600. The cheapest she has ever went.
I knew of the French Lascaux cave, but not of the ones in Northern Spain, where I was a few months ago. Next time in the region, I will go take a look.
Yes, you can never see it all. Most places can be revisited a few times.
PS. Will I add to overtourism there? The Lascaux cave is well known, but the Spanish ones hopefully are not.

That's the Web site I went to. I had not known there were so many caves in Northern Spain.
We had been to the Monolithic Church in Saint Emillion, which is a destination in the above trip although it is of course not pre-historic.
We won’t have time to visit Cognac this trip, but I have every intention of sampling Armagnac when in Périgord, and maybe bringing a bottle home.On the same trip when we visited Saint Emillion, we also spent a night in Cognac as a pilgrimage I long wanted to make to the birthplace of the beloved spirit.
I don't remember the dates and perhaps it could be the difference between a weekday and weekend, but Cognac was a sleepy town while Saint Emillion was crowded with visitors, mostly French. Just want to mention this to tie to the thread topic.

Had a bottle last night.have a couple of wine tours lined up for Médoc (left bank)
I hope you will tell us how the Neanderthal dinner turns out. Did they have alcohol in those day?
