Cave famous for its cave art, with strata and stalagmites leading to the room featuring prehistoric animals

This vast natural gallery was discovered in 1951 and classified as a historic monument in 1961. For 100 metres, eccentric marine strata and stalagmites lead to the large room engraved 15,000 years ago. Various Upper Paleolithic animals are represented: horses, cattle, ibex, deer, bears, as well as signs unusual for the period. Bear scratches are visible on the rock. This is one of the oldest sites in the memory of mankind in terms of cave art (Middle Magdalenian).

Heute waren wir mit unseren zwei Jungs und unserem Hund in der Höhle. Die Dame die die Führung durchführte sprach Englisch und Französisch und hat alles sehr gut erklärt. Unser Hund konnte im Vorraum währenddessen auf dem kühlen Steinboden warten. Es war sehr interessant und sehenswert. Es gab heute jeweils stündlich eine begleitete Tour, von ca. einer Stunde Dauer. Die Entstehung und Entdeckung der Höhle konnten wir Gut nachvollziehen und die Malereien wurden sehr gut geklärt.

Une visite sympathique d'une grotte méconnue. La guide était motivée et pédagogue. Un bon moment au frais. Il faut un œil habitué pour voir les gravures. Prévoyez une petite laine.

Website and signs outside led us to believe guided tours were in french and English. Went on Wednesday at 12.15 to be told closed till 2pm. Fair enough, common for places to close 12 till 2 in the dordogne area. Went back Thursday having booked in advance for 2pm only to be told by the same woman on the desk that English speaking tour would be at 4pm. It would have been helpful to have been told this the day before

Une grotte sympa. La visite est intéressante mais un peu longue pour un enfant de 5 ans. Abordable et pas trop frequeté.
