About Lascaux Caves

The Lascaux Caves are a complex of caves near Montignac in the Dordogne, famous for their outstanding Upper Paleolithic cave paintings estimated to be over 17,000 years old. To protect the fragile original art, the site features "Lascaux IV," a state-of-the-art, 100% exact replica museum combining digital art and physical stone replication.

💡Why Visit?

Stand in the lifelike replica of the Hall of the Bulls to admire the 17,000-year-old animal paintings of prehistoric humans.
