Cave discovered in 1901, considered as a major sanctuary of the Magdalenian culture in Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil.

Les Eyzies and its surroundings are known as the world capital of Prehistory. On the left bank of the Beune river, this cave discovered in 1901 is considered a major sanctuary of the Magdalenian culture (-13,000 years). It contains more than 600 rock figures, most of them engraved. Its bestiary represents a very diversified fauna which informs us about prehistoric animal species and the beliefs of our ancestors. There are some anthropomorphic representations and tectiform signs. See also the National Museum of Prehistory.

J'ai été voir cette grotte par hasard et c'est un de mes meilleurs souvenirs des Eyzies. C'est une des plus belles grottes à visiter dans la région. Le bestiaire est un des plus complets et les animaux ont été gravés avec une grande finesse. Ce sont les vraies gravures à voir. La visite est très agréable. Un pull est à prévoir car il fait tout de même froid dans la grotte.
