NEOLITHIC POTTERY

Create your own pottery like our ancestors

Create your own pottery like our ancestors



This craft dates from the Neolithic, period during which the Prehistoric Man shaped clay containers to store and cook food.


Pottery is linked to the consumption of vegetables and cereals. Keeping them in containers will replace the simple pit dug in the ground exposed to animals and bad weather.

Cooking food will also be facilitated by the use of fire-resistant containers.


Beyond its utilitarian aspect, ceramic was also used for artistic purposes as evidenced by the figurines of "goddesses".

During this activity, children, from 4 years old, plays with the material and its imagination.

Shape your pottery using the Neolithic technique, decorate it and take it away at the end of the day.

Tip: Remember to come early to fully enjoy your day between visiting the Caves and Prehistoric Workshops

Questions about animations
  • Is the park shaded ?
    • There are many shaded areas in the park. The picnic and entertainment areas are also shaded.

  • I purchase my tickets on the internet. Should I print them or can I present my reservation on my phone ?


    • To avoid any problem, it is preferable to have proof of purchase on your side with your tickets downloaded beforehand on your smartphone. 3 or 4G coverage on the site is not always easy. However if you forget, do not worry: we have the trace of your reservation at the reception of the site!


    • Remember to come to the site 15 minutes before the start of the reserved visit or activities.

  • 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.
