For the first time, Lascaux is completly revealed. A complete and never-yet-seen copy relates the dicovery of the famous painted cave. But the adventure does not stop there : the whole tour questions the place Lascaux has in cave art and its links with contemporary creation. Lascaux 4 marks the beginning of a new adventure uniting the emotion of an ancestral art with technological achievement.

Compared to the other decorated caves, Lascaux stands out because of its artistic homogeneity, its diversity and its festival of color as we see it otherwise.
Lascaux IV thus constitutes the jewel of the 21st century of this jewel of humanity now preserved from the outside thanks to this extraordinary fac-simile. The visitor meanwhile immerses himself completely. Operating magic, he can finally take his time to understand and experience a unique sensory and emotional experience, which he will remember for a long time. It's our bet to everyone, every day.

Lascaux IV
Lascaux IV, place of memory and didactic place, plays an irreplaceable role of transmission of knowledge and our heritage. It is a space assimilated to a laboratory grotto, a place of experimentation and exchange, which prolongs, enriches and brings visitors as much to contemplation as to reflection. It is intermediate between the visit (the knowledge), and the scientific domain which makes it possible to create the knowledge.

Lascaux IV
Lascaux IV offers a perfect replica of the Lascaux cave. It's a real educational tool! Children (like adults) can learn in a playful way the magic universe of the parietal art. And all this in a monumental site! An architectural feat that combines a beautiful container and exceptional content!

Relive the experience of prehistorical men in this new copy of Lascaux cave. The visit is fun and very well theatrically produced. It is even adapted for kids with audio headsets and digital tablets.

It has been the high moment of my week. Looking individual pieces of art is quite different from going inside a room and be surrounded by cave art, the way it was thousands years ago. An excellent use of technology later after the guided tour, letting people improving their knowledge in the language they want . There are as well separate systems for kids. What a fabulous day there !

We had booked before going to Dordogne. It was the aim of our trip. We were thrilled by the reconstitution ans the explanations of our impassionate and fantastic guide The presentation of the Cro-Magnon men deletes the stereotyps. Reconstituing the cave entrance is an excellent idea because we can evaluate the path of the young discoverers before noticing the first animal. The first room has created a short but strongly emotional moment of silence of the group.
