The cave paintings of the Chauvet Cave were made between –32,000 and -21,000 years ago. Although the scientific community has not yet agreed on the purpose of these drawings, it seems obvious that these are not mere decorations. 

So were they used as magic incantations for hunting, was it the role of the shaman, or did our ancestors seek to leave a trace and communicate with future generations?


For 30 minutes, show your talents by using pigments and other natural elements.

Make your own prehistoric painting on a wooden board. Take away your creation.

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

Questions about animations
  • Should adults also participate in animations ? Do I have to participate in workshops ?


    • The prehistoric activities that we offer are as much for adults as for children.


    • The concept of the park is to share family entertainment.


    • However, no one is obliged to carry out the activities.


    • Relaxation areas are located near the entertainment venues.


    • Only wearers of the 1-day Pass bracelet have access to the park. Children are the responsibility of the parents and must be accompanied by at least one adult.

  • Can I bring my picnic ? Is there a snacking point ?


    • We provide our visitors with several picnic areas, sheltered or not.


    • Our snack point "le Chasseur Cueilleur" offers snacks of local products as well as hot or cold drinks, to consume on the spot or to take away in the heart of the park.


    • The snack is open continuously throughout the day.

  • 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!
