Pech Merle Cave

Nestled under the hills around Cabrerets in the Lot Valley, Pech Merle Cave offers a unique blend of prehistoric rock art and stunning geological formations. The cave’s 20,000-year-old artwork, featuring dappled horses and handprints, was first discovered by children in the 1920s. As visitors delve into the grotto, they are greeted by an array of stalactites and stalagmites, but it is the ancient paintings that truly captivate. Today, guests can explore this subterranean gallery and witness the vivid, well-preserved images that provide a window into the lives of our prehistoric ancestors.
