Grotte des Combarelles

The Combarelles cave, at Les Eyzies, in the Dordogne, is a narrow gallery of about 250 metres whose walls carry hundreds of prehistoric engravings, made more than 12,000 years ago: horses, bison, reindeer, mammoths, but also a few human figures and signs. It is part of the prehistoric sites and decorated caves of the Vézère valley, inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage.

Visits are organised in small groups, by booking, with a guide who helps spot the lines engraved in the rock. The visit combines easily with the Font-de-Gaume cave, a few hundred metres away, and the National Museum of Prehistory, at Les Eyzies, for a day devoted to cave art.
