Chauvet Cave…A Controversial Opening

Explore · Guest Post · Road Trips South of France

The French press and TV have announced the opening this month of a replica cave, which reproduces the 1000 examples of Stone Age paintings to be found in the nearby Chauvet cave in the Ardeche. The original drawings were done 36,000 years ago and were preserved.

Grotte Chauvet

It took 90 minutes to turn back the clock 36,000 years. The Grotte Chauvet 2 is a UNESCO World Heritage Site at Caverne du Pont d’Arc. Located in the Ardeche, it’s a quick drive from most locations in the Bouches du Rhône. The site which opened to the public in 2015 includes a 3,500 m2 (38,000 sqft) replica of the cavern and the prehistoric art found on its walls. In addition to the cavern experience, there is an interpretive centre, cafeteria-style restaurant and boutique.
