Participatory prehistoric workshops in the park

A family day 1 hour from Lyon, Geneva or Annecy

IN ADDITION TO THE CAVES TOUR, PARTICIPATE IN THE PREHISTORIC WORKSHOPS ( starts at 11H) AND PERPETUATE THE GESTURES OF OUR ANCESTORS

If you choose our combined ticket (cave tour and access to prehistoric workshops) and you want to have time to enjoy workshops, we advise you to come before 11H/11h30.

 Booking your ticket online means that there will be space for you in the park.

However, workshops can't be booked individually.

Questions about animations
  • Is it possible to conduct the prehistoric workshops?


    • Most of the prehistoric workshops are distant from 3 to 5 minutes walking. 

    There is many paths through the park. The schedules take into account movements between 2 nearby activities. The 2 workshops furthest from each other are “pottery” and “fire” but you will not take more than 5 minutes by walking slowly with a young child.

  • Are pets allowed in the park and in the caves?
    • Pets are allowed in the park provided that their owners keep them on a leash, ensure the tranquility of visitors (barking) and the rules of cleanliness (excrement).


    • For the visit of the caves, only pets that can be carried throughout the visit are authorized.

  • What outfit to wear for the workshops?


    • At "Grottes du Cerdon", you are "on the ground" as close as possible to nature.


    • Dress accordingly in clothing suitable for outdoor activities which can be more or less dirty, depending on your abilities.


    • Remember that you are leaving your era!
