Cave in the Vicdessos valley at Alliat, one of the most important prehistoric sites in the Pyrenees

Reopening in 2024, this cave, the little sister of the Niaux cave, is located in the Vicdessos valley, at Alliat. Excavated in 1866 by Dr. Félix Garrigou, it is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the Pyrenees. Excavations have unearthed animal bones and teeth, carved flints, assegais, reindeer antler harpoons, needles and pieces engraved or sculpted with animal motifs. Over a hundred pieces were found in the Monique Room. A concretion reminiscent of a bovid gave the cave its name.

Grotte située en face de celle de Niaux qui est plus connu. La grotte de la vache est une grotte d'habitation à l'époque contrairement à celle de Niaux qui est une grotte d'ornement.
Lors de cette visite nous apprenons comment les hommes et les femmes de cette époque vivaient tout au long de l'année (leur façon de se nourrir, de s'habiller, de vivre en communauté, .....)
Super intéressant !
En période touristique il est préférable de réserver la visite via une application ou le site internet de l'office du tourisme de l’Ariège.

Super intéressant ! La grotte n'est certes pas aussi grande que sa voisine de Niaux, mais elle en vaut bien la peine !
Prévoir de réserver la visite (la grotte n'est pas très grande...)
