This Prehistoric cave from the Magdalenian era lies just a few kilometres east of Les Eyzies on the right bank of the Beune river. It was classified as a listed site in 1926 in recognition of its unique sculptures. The frieze covers all but two metres of the 15-metre deep cave and features horses, bison and deer, some of which overlap. Originally, the sculptures were probably coloured since traces of ochre pigment were found during earlier archaeological digs. The remarkable depth and vibrancy of these sculptures carved with flint tools make the Cap-Blanc Cave one of the greatest masterpieces of Prehistoric art from the Upper Palaeolithic period. A museographical area around the friezes gives an overview of Cap-Blanc life and art. Cave of the Vézère valley designated world heritage site by UNESCO.

I would agree with previous comments. We got our ticket at Font de Gaume and were told to arrive at 4 PM. We were the only people on the English tour. Takes about an hour to see these excellent examples of cave art.

This is worth the climb to the top. 2 euros later I climb the narrow steps . It is ancient structure dating back to the 12th century. Difficult to stop taking photos. There are posters on the wall to tell the story of where we are and the sites below.
