Grotte des Combarelles
Discovered at the turn of the 20th century, this wide cave on the southeast edge of town has over 400 etchings of animals, including musk oxen, horses, bison, and aurochs (prehistoric oxen). Think of it as a gallery of Magdalenian art. Advanced reservations not accepted; purchase tickets at the same office as Font-de-Gaume. Daily visits are limited to 60 people.
