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

Reopened in 2024, Grotte de la Vache, the little sister of Grotte de Niaux, is located in the Vicdessos valley. 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. Around a hundred works are on display in the Monique Room. A concretion reminiscent of a bovid gave the cave its name.

Una sola stella perché purtroppo non sono riuscita a visitarla con la guida in quanto l'unica guida in inglese nel giorno in cui potevo visitare era incompatibile negli orari con l'unica guida in inglese alla grotta di Niaux. Spero si possano migliorare la quantità di guide non francesi e gli orari fra le varie visite.

Accès pas forcément évident (mal référencer sur Google Map): il faudrait ajouter un panneau (visible) au niveau du parking pour l'indiquer.

Visite génial et instructive avec une intervenante qui connait et est passionné par son sujet.

Attention: la visite un peu être un peu longue pour les enfants <10 ans.
