The emotion of the origins

21,000 years ago

Deep in the woods, located just 200 meters from the original, come and discover the first Lascaux facsimile.
Lascaux II, the most-visited replica in the world, faithfully reproduces the original’s dimensions, contours, and paintings. 85% of Lascaux’s artworks have been recreated. The experience is both immersive and sensory : underground, you feel the cool air, the humidity, the smell of the stone… It’s not just a copy — it’s a facsimile ! Guided by the light of a torch, embark on an adventure that will transport you back to prehistoric times.
