One of the world's finest painted prehistoric caves.
Reviewed By RichardR892 - Clisson, France
The visit to see these awesome 29000-year-old examples of Cro-Magnon rock paintings is very well organised. Groups of about 30-40 are conducted into the cave with a knowledgeable guide who explains the techniques and outlines the individual animals, which are not always easy to pick out. The visit was not hurried – over an hour - and we got a good view of all the accessible art-works. The cave also has superb geological features, worth a visit in their own right! The Museum shows a selection of artefacts and a well-produced film of the caves, including illustrating some drawings in inaccessible sections.

Jean François Champollion, the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphics, was born in Figeac in 1790. The Museum of Writing takes the visitor on a journey following Champollion’s footsteps that gives them the opportunity to take part in the adventure of the written word and consider its place in our future world.

This museum is worth a trip to France. The history of writing, and the work of Jean-Francois Champollion, is displayed here in a highly sophisticated and polished manner with explanations in French and English that are erudite and complete. You can, and I hope to, spend days, soaking up the information that accompanies the artifacts.
