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).

Jolie petite grotte mais rien d'extra

Pas grand intérêt la visite mériterait d'être consacrée 20 minutes sans plus...

Beim Eintritt in die Höhle - übrigens 15 Minuten verspätet - wies uns die Führerin darauf hin, dass sie die Führung ausschließlich auf Französisch halten würde. Wir sagten, das wäre ok. Nicht erwartet hätten wir, dass die Führung aus einem 60 minütigen Monolog dieser Frau bestehen würde, und das in einem so rasanten Tempo, dass ich kaum ein Wort verstanden habe trotz Französischunterricht bis zum Abitur. Es gab keine Fragen seitens der Besucher, alle wirkten sichtlich gelangweilt. 60 Minuten verschenkter Lebenszeit!

Vaut le détour belles représentations

La grotte mérite le détour, les gravures, sa formation etc. Par contre la guide se perd un peu dans ses explications et parle beaucoup pour ne pas dire grand chose… déconseiller aux enfants un peu jeune elle n’a pas l’air de les apprécier…
