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.

Unbelievably closed when same as the museum, it says it was open. Everything has been closed here today. Be very careful not to waste your time in this area. I couldn't come any other day.

La guide était pleine de passion! Elle a sû nous faire traverser les âges (et surtout la caverne, sinon je ne pourrais pas écrire l'avis).

C'était un chouette moment à vivre.
Merci à l'équipe qui nous a très bien accueilli, vous êtes au top!
