A remarkable cave
Listed as a Historic Monument in 1929, the Bédeilhac cave is remarkable.
Remarkable for its extraordinary underground landscape with huge rooms and spectacular concretions dating back millions of years.
Remarkable also because it allows you to meet the men and women of Cro-Magnon who, 16 years ago, decorated the cave, using various techniques: painting, drawing, engraving, modeling on clay ... and even imprint hand.
Finally, remarkable because it served as an industrial site during the 1940-1945 War.
During your visit, the vast galleries, their volume and the subterranean landscape combine large columns and imposing concretions, impress both young and old.
Depending on the lighting, the visit reveals the patient work of water: mysterious shapes appear to glances plunged into darkness and allow everyone to give free rein to their imagination in front of the extraordinary sculptures of nature.
