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.

Questions about animations
  • 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)


  • How does the tale visit go?


    • It takes place every Sunday at 1 p.m. and to participate you just need to book online minimum 24 hours in advance. It takes an average of 1.15 hours to visit

  • Is it possible to conduct the prehistoric workshops?


    • Most of the prehistoric workshops are distant from 3 to 5 minutes walking. 

    There is many paths through the park. The schedules take into account movements between 2 nearby activities. The 2 workshops furthest from each other are “pottery” and “fire” but you will not take more than 5 minutes by walking slowly with a young child.
