Create your natural ocher paint
Create your natural ocher paint
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.

Are the workshops canceled in case of rain ?
No, because all activities can be done under cover, with the exception of hunting with a spear workshop, but it is rare that the rain falls continuously... and nothing stops the valiant hunters!
-
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.

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.
