World famous grottos & caves

The Chauvet Cave (Grotte Chauvet Pont d’Arc) is one of the most famous prehistoric art sites in the world. It was discovered in 1994 when a small team of cavers happened upon it. It is an important example of Paleolithic cave drawings. This is a must-see and something we highly recommend when you visit. Let us know if you are interested and we can help book your tickets. They can sell out in advance.
