What were they used for? Beautify yourself? To stand out? Show membership in a group? Many hypotheses are still put forward today ...

During this activity, shape, drill, and rub with prehistoric tools your stone and make your prehistoric ornament.

Questions about animations
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to reserve tickets for a departure to visit the caves?


    • When purchasing your tickets on our website, you will be able to select the time at which you wish to take the guided tour.


    • You will thus have the certainty that tickets will be reserved for you on the chosen departure.


    • When you arrive on our site, present yourself at reception no later than 15 minutes before departure with your tickets. If you buy your tickets on the spot, you will have the possibility of choosing your time of visit of the caves according to the remaining availability.
