Prehistoric animal park and introduction to cave art

featured in Sights & sites

A prehistoric park and an excellent introduction before visiting the region's prehistoric caves. 

It has an animal park with many of the animals represented in cave drawings and replica models of extinct species. It also has an hands-on explanation of cave art and explains how the Lascaux caves were faithfully reproduced at Lascaux II.

Visitor comments

  • "Get a double ticket - Lascaux + Le Thot for a fab day out. There is a great interactive 3d presentation + " prehistoric mirror" where you feel you are in the presentation... Lots of animals there - all those that are represented in the cave paintings at Lascaux including Bison and Przewalski's horse which are now extinct in the wild." - Trip Advisor
