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
  • 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.

  • What is the age recommended for carrying out the workshops ?
    • We have indicated the recommended age for each activity, but obviously everything depends on the agility and precocity of each child.

  • 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.
