The Michelin Guide's review
Situated in a secluded wooded environment, the stunning Pech-Merle Caves are as rich in wall paintings as they are in natural concretions. In an enchanting setting of stalactites, fistulous concretions and helictites, visitors can admire works of art, some of which were created 30,000 years ago, including bison and mammoths drawn with black lines, a bear's head engraved in the stone, outlines of horses and "negative hands" painted using the stencil method. One of the finest collections of rock art in the world.
