A prehistoric treasure
St Cirq with its surprising growth of bamboo, shelters a prehistoric cave, the Grotte du Sorcier which is decorated with dozens of engravings dating from 13,000 BC amongst which is a beautiful representation of a dappled stallion and a male figure. This engraving is the first to represent a Magdelanian man and is one of the best cave representations of the human form. The cave is open to visitors.
