The fire and the development of Prehistoric Man are inseparable. The domestication of fire dates back about 450,000 years.

An activity for everyone which consists in demonstrating by gestures, the old techniques of starting a fire by friction but especially by percussion.

At the end of the workshop, those who wish (and from 6 years old) can test the fire techniques.

Questions about animations
  • Can we do only the tale visite ( without park access) ?


    • The tale visit is an integral part of the park's activities requiring the combined ticket

  • 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.
