Learn how to handle the tools to make fire by friction and percussion

The fire and the development of Prehistoric Man are inseparable. The domestication of fire dates back about 450,000 years.

An activity for everyone which consists in demonstrating by gestures, the old techniques of starting a fire by friction but especially by percussion.

At the end of the workshop, those who wish (and from 6 years old) can test the fire techniques.

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.

  • I purchase my tickets on the internet. Should I print them or can I present my reservation on my phone ?


    • To avoid any problem, it is preferable to have proof of purchase on your side with your tickets downloaded beforehand on your smartphone. 3 or 4G coverage on the site is not always easy. However if you forget, do not worry: we have the trace of your reservation at the reception of the site!


    • Remember to come to the site 15 minutes before the start of the reserved visit or activities.

  • What is the best way to organize your day ?


    • We advise you to plan your day by targeting the workshops you absolutely want to do and the time at which you prefer to visit the caves.
