Visit the caves of Cougnac to dive into the heart of prehistory, and understand the meaning of the paintings
The two caves at Cougnac have been open to the public for almost fifty years. Combining natural curiosities and figurative drawings, these caves allow you to plunge (literally!) into the heart of prehistory. A 1h10 guided tour will help you understand the significance of the paintings, the use of the rooms, and visualize the men and women who appropriated the site nearly 25,000 years ago. The guide will also explain how the stalactites and stalagmites in the caves came to be, which today form natural arches and chandeliers.
Price: adults €8.50, children (aged 5 to 12) €6.
Duration: 1h10 guided tour.
Difficulty: easy.

Suite à une déconvenue, nous nous rendons aux grottes de Cougnac. Et nous n'avons pas regretté! Nous avons eu droit à un guide génial qui a pu mettre en contexte et en relief les caractéristiques exceptionnelles de ces grottes. Ce ne sont pas les premières que je visite et pourtant elles m'ont laissée pantoise: belles à couper le souffle par le côté naturel et ce furent mes premières peintures pariétales (vues en vrai).
