L'Aven d'Orgnac Grand Site de Francenaturally outstanding!
Following government decisions to deal with the spread of the coronavirus, we regret having to close the site of the cave and the City of Prehistory until further notice.
Hoping to welcome you again soon, take care of yourself and your loved ones.
It's a story that begins a hundred million years ago, stretching from the formation of the limestone rock right up until the discovery of the Aven d'Orgnac, in 1935, which now allows visitors to admire the gigantic underground chambers and their majestic crystal formations.
It's a human story too, from the very first fire-lit tales and the thousands of flint blades that were sharpened here, more than 350,000 years ago, to the continuing educational work at the Cité de la Préhistoire. Come learn a little and dream a lot, surrounded by birdsong and the chanting of the cicadas...
