Description

It was in this Cro-Magnon rock shelter that the first remains of Homo Sapiens, dating back 35,000 years, were discovered. In addition to tools and pendants, five modern human skeletons, including those of the famous 50-year-old man and a child, were also unearthed. An exhibition and a holographic film overturn received ideas about Cro-Magnon. The educational path is definitely worth the time, particularly the view over the Dordogne valley and its numerous prehistoric sites.
