Abri Cro-Magnon

The emblematic place of discovery that lent its name to the first modern human species: Cro-Magnon.

This is an important historic and symbolic place where you may expand your own perception of our common ancestor. The fun, interactive tour combines modern technology (holograms, tactile screens and an immersive environment) with a traditional exhibition. Total immersion awaits you in the world of Cro-Magnon, from its first discovery to the very latest research.
Continue your tour through a natural setting along a sound-enhanced trail where you'll encounter animals that roamed the area at the time. When you reach the peak of the cliff, you'll enjoy a view over this prehistoric valley and its many points of interest.
