SHOOTING WITH SPEAR THROWER

SHOOTING WITH SPEAR THROWER : Learn to hunt like our ancestors

SHOOTING WITH SPEAR THROWER : Learn to hunt like our ancestors



Prehistoric Men of course knew how to throw spears by hand ... but to better surprise the animals, with less risk and more power: they invented the spearthrower, a weapon which makes it possible to launch at double the distance by extending the lever of the arms.

An activity recommended from 5/6 years and for all audiences to learn how to use the spearthrower.

Go hunting armed with a spearthrowers and spears.

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

Questions about animations
  • 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.

  • 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 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.
