aven d'orgnac
This story begins 100 million years ago, from the formation of limestone rock, until the discovery of Aven d'Orgnac in 1935, which today allows us to admire gigantic underground rooms. It is also a human story, from the edge of the flint that was carved 350,000 years ago, and the transmission that continues in the City of Prehistory.

The Chauvet 2 Cave or the Pont d’Arc Cave
DECEMBER 18, 1994…
It's a Sunday. Equipped with lamps, Jean-Marie Chauvet, Éliette Brunel and Christian Hillaire, decide to enter the narrow tunnel discovered a few months earlier. The trio crawls meter after meter. Progress is difficult. The three cavers get stuck several times before reaching the ceiling of a large gallery. This winter expedition will change the course of their lives.
