Since prehistoric times, men have attached great importance to ornamentation. The first elements of ornamentation appears -80,000 years ago, but it is especially from the Upper Paleolithic (-40,000 years) that we find many remains of these adornments.

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. 

From the age of 8.

Questions about animations
  • Can children go alone on workshops areas ?


    • Children are the responsibility of parents / carers and must be accompanied by at least 1 adult.


    • It is therefore not possible to buy a combined tickets for children and cave-only tickets for adults.


    • The Concept of the Park is to share family entertainment. Adults who do not wish to carry out the activities can take advantage of the relaxation areas near the entertainment venues.

  • Is it possible to do the workshops with a stroller ?


    • The Park is relatively flat and access between the workshops is by dirt or grassy paths. Pedestrian access to reach the park is not possible by stroller. You must ask the reception for the best way to reach the park (small train route when it is not running). 

    Same time as for users of the trail that is not passable by stroller (stairs)


  • 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!
