Lascaux Academic Advisor

Lascaux IV is a place of memory and learning, a place that allows us to share our knowledge and our heritage. It is like a laboratory, a place to experiment and exchange, a space for both contemplation and reflection. It is the intermediary between the visit (the knowledge) and the science which helps discover this knowledge.

Claire

Sales manager

Lascaux IV offers a perfect replica of the Lascaux cave. It's a real educational tool! Children (and adults, too) can learn about the magic of cave art and have fun too. All this, and a truly monumental site! An architectural feat that combines a beautiful building with exceptional content!

Alexandra

We have been coming here for years, yet never visited and thought it was about time we did. Glad we did. It’s interesting anyway but our guide, Emma, was excellent and made it more so. You can book online, which also indicates whether the tour is in French or in English. My mobility is not good, but I was fine, and you could probably get round it in a wheelchair.

Historic site for humanity, well organised and presented, makes history come alive. Yes, tours are only in French but the environment and exhibits speak for themselves! Enjoyed the guided tour by Mlle Sophie!
