Create your natural ocher paint
The cave paintings of the Chauvet Cave were made between –32,000 and -21,000 years ago. Although the scientific community has not yet agreed on the purpose of these drawings, it seems obvious that these are not mere decorations.
So were they used as magic incantations for hunting, was it the role of the shaman, or did our ancestors seek to leave a trace and communicate with future generations?

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. -
What is the best way to organize your day ?
We advise you to plan your day by targeting the workshops you absolutely want to do and the time at which you prefer to visit the caves.

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.
