Lascaux 4 : International Centre of Cave Art

The Lascaux cave is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, with over 600 paintings and engravings dating back to prehistoric times. It was discovered by chance by teenagers in 1940 and quickly became famous for its exceptional paintings and engravings, which mainly depict animals such as bison, horses, deer and aurochs, but also include scenes of hunting and religious rituals.
