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.

Make your own prehistoric painting on a wooden board. Take away your creation.

Tip: Remember to come early to fully enjoy your day between visiting the Caves and Prehistoric Workshops

Questions about animations
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
