Abris Préhistoriques de Laugerie Basse

In Les Eyzies, near the Grand Roc cave, in the limestone cliff which dominates the Vézère, the prehistoric shelter of Laugerie Basse bears witness to multiple and successive human occupation at the end of the Magdalenian (Cro-Magnon Man there 15 years ago) in the Middle Ages. This deposit is an exceptional site for the quantity, diversity and often quality of the approximately 000 works of art that have been discovered there.
On the Laugerie-Basse site, you visit the Marseilles shelter (the other part of the site being built and still inhabited today) and discover why and how the men returned to the site numerous times. A film explains the formation of this type of shelter, a room presents copies of the most beautiful pieces: engraved bone disc, harpoon, statuette of a horse's head and the female figurine called "Impudent Venus".
