Reveal the artifacts of a Neolithic village to understand an archaeological excavation


What we know about prehistory, we owe in part to the work of archaeologists. These are researchers who trace the evolution of man and his environment through excavations.

These excavations bring to light the traces left by men and animals of a given era.

During a 45-minute activity, children find the remains of a reconstructed Neolithic village.

From these discoveries, the animator explains the way of life of our ancestors 6000 years ago.

Tip: Remember to come early to fully enjoy your day between visiting the Caves and Prehistoric Workshops

Questions about animations
  • Should we book the prehistoric workshops ?


    • Prehistoric workshops cannot be booked individually. Each workshop is limited to approximately 30 persons. It is therefore not necessary to book because there are many timetables available for each workshop. The sooner you arrive the better you can enjoy our activities ;-)


    • Depending on the crowds in the park, we add an animator and therefore activities.


    • You can however make your reservation for the guided tour of the caves organized at fixed times (see timetables according to the calendar)


    • Our recommendation: before your arrival, organize your day according to the times indicated on our calendar page.

  • 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!

  • Can we do all the prehistoric workshops and the visit ?
    The schedules between visits and prehistoric workshops are organized so that you can do everything in a day. However, in this case, you must arrive at the site upon opening. Download your schedule in pdf on the "schedules" page.
