As in Lascaux, Cro-Magnon man had often painted or engraved walls, but here life size forms of horses and bison make the site totally unique, and as a result it has been classified by UNESCO and entered on the list of Human World Heritage sites.

This Rock Sculpture and lots more can be explored on Walking Dordogne’s “Cro Magnon, Romans and Templars” tour
