Participatory prehistoric workshops in the park

A family day 1 hour from Lyon, Geneva or Annecy

IN ADDITION TO THE CAVES TOUR, PARTICIPATE IN THE PREHISTORIC WORKSHOPS ( starts at 11H) AND PERPETUATE THE GESTURES OF OUR ANCESTORS

If you choose our combined ticket (cave tour and access to prehistoric workshops) and you want to have time to enjoy workshops, we advise you to come before 11H/11h30.

 Booking your ticket online means that there will be space for you in the park.

However, workshops can't be booked individually.

Questions about animations
  • Should we book the prehistoric workshops ?


    • Prehistoric workshops cannot be booked individually. Each workshop is limited to approximately 30 persons. It is therefore not necessary to book because there are many timetables available for each workshop. The sooner you arrive the better you can enjoy our activities ;-)


    • Depending on the crowds in the park, we add an animator and therefore activities.


    • You can however make your reservation for the guided tour of the caves organized at fixed times (see timetables according to the calendar)


    • Our recommendation: before your arrival, organize your day according to the times indicated on our calendar page.

  • Is it possible to do the workshops with a stroller ?


    • The Park is relatively flat and access between the workshops is by dirt or grassy paths. Pedestrian access to reach the park is not possible by stroller. You must ask the reception for the best way to reach the park (small train route when it is not running). 

    Same time as for users of the trail that is not passable by stroller (stairs)


  • Can we do all the prehistoric workshops and the visit ?
    The schedules between visits and prehistoric workshops are organized so that you can do everything in a day. However, in this case, you must arrive at the site upon opening. Download your schedule in pdf on the "schedules" page.
