Create your own stone bead and make your necklace !

Since prehistoric times, men have attached great importance to ornamentation. The first elements of ornamentation appears -80,000 years ago, but it is especially from the Upper Paleolithic (-40,000 years) that we find many remains of these adornments.

What were they used for? Beautify yourself? To stand out? Show membership in a group? Many hypotheses are still put forward today ...

During this activity, shape, drill, and rub with prehistoric tools your stone and make your prehistoric ornament. 

From the age of 8.

Questions about animations
  • Is it possible to conduct the prehistoric workshops?


    • Most of the prehistoric workshops are distant from 3 to 5 minutes walking. 

    There is many paths through the park. The schedules take into account movements between 2 nearby activities. The 2 workshops furthest from each other are “pottery” and “fire” but you will not take more than 5 minutes by walking slowly with a young child.

  • Should adults also participate in animations ? Do I have to participate in workshops ?


    • The prehistoric activities that we offer are as much for adults as for children.


    • The concept of the park is to share family entertainment.


    • However, no one is obliged to carry out the activities.


    • Relaxation areas are located near the entertainment venues.


    • Only wearers of the 1-day Pass bracelet have access to the park. Children are the responsibility of the parents and must be accompanied by at least one adult.

  • 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.
