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.

I love this place and would say it is a must see if you are anywhere near by. We drove about an hour to see this and our family loved every minute of the walk around the castle, church and little village nestled in the cliff.

This ia a wonderful historic small town perched high on a cliff above the river below. The original building was probably the castle/fortification, again perched on high, now a ruin but still very evident. The town consists of several very steep streets dotted with cafes and 'tourist type' shops plus several decent restaurants. There is also a 'beach' and towpath below, popular with walkers - we did not visit due to time constraints. A welcome bonus bonus is the provision for parking which is ample in all areas.
