Grotte du Mas d’Azil

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:03:58

Twenty-five kilometres northwest of Foix, near Le Mas d’Azil, this rock shelter is famous for its rich finds of prehistoric tools, as well as its cave art. Two galleries are open to the public: in the Galerie Breuil you can see engravings of bison, horses, fish, deer and what appears to be a cat, while in the Oven Room, there’s a rare – and haunting – depiction of a human face. The ticket also includes entry to the site’s museum.
