Frommer's Review

Discovered at the turn of the 20th century, the Grotte des Combarelles, on the southeast edge of town, has many drawings of animals, including musk oxen, horses, bison, and aurochs (wild oxen). Think of it as a gallery of Magdalenian art. Advance reservations are vital -- only 60 visitors per day are admitted.
