Niaux cave
NIAUX , Ariège – Equipement
About
Walk in the footsteps of the Cro-Magnons, with the emotion of an explorer and the light of a lamp: you have an appointment with a part of your history.
The Niaux cave is unique, and that’s no false promise. The 1h45 guided tour allows you to admire, like nowhere else, the authentic paintings of our ancestors concentrated in the Salon Noir. No facsimiles here, but superb animal paintings combined with enigmatic signs that transport you to distant times for a sacred adventure.
