Château de Commarque, on a 20,000-year-old decorated cave, offering free or guided tours.
Dormant for 400 years, the castrum of Commarque was covered by abundant vegetation. It was saved in the3rd millennium by a direct descendant of the eponymous family! The site, which rests on a 20,000-year-old cave (closed to the public), has gradually been cleared, revealing troglodytic shelters, a 12th-century keep, a dwelling, a chapel, an entire defense system and knights' tower-houses. A new, fun and illustrated tour begins in July 2024, with a host of events throughout the summer.
