Prehistoric caves where you can admire the 200 hands painted on its walls, the hands with missing phalanges arouse curiosity

The decorated caves of Gargas are the only prehistoric caves in the Hautes-Pyrénées accessible to the public. The most spectacular and moving part of the visit is the large wall of hands which includes more than 137 paintings of prints. No one knows why the vast majority of these hands have missing phalanges. Elements of the answer are brought to the digital interpretation center Nestploria. An educational and moving place.

Vraiment magnifique émouvant et magique et en plus un super guide passionné vous fait ressentir la chance que l'on a de voir des messages de nos ancêtres

Visite intéressante à faire si vous passez dans le coin.
Le lieu est très sympa, le personnel est agréable.
La petite visite interactive qui est proposé est ludique et nous en apprend davantage après la visite.
La guide est très gentille et intéressante et donne toutes les informations nécessaires à comprendre les grottes et ses secrets, cependant nous arrivions peut être aimer une visite un peu plus interactive
Bonne découverte, nous recommandons!

Si estas por la zona es super recomendable. Aunque la visita sea en francés el guía hablaba español e intentaba traducir algunas partes así como responderte tus preguntas en español.
¡Importante hacer reserva previa!
