LA GROTTE DE LA MARCHE

The cave cavity was discovered and explored in 1914 by H. Lavergne who found flint tools in the ground. In 1937, L. Pericard, a local amateur, started the excavations again and brought to light engraved stones, remains of ornaments as well as lithic and bone objects. The guided tour begins with a discovery of the museum and then continues with a walk to the caves where our ancestors, who mastered the art of engraving, lived about 14,000 years ago. Young and old can follow this tour.
