Cave discovered in 1951, known for its engraving called Sorcier de Saint-Cirq, animal engravings and the small museum to see

This cave discovered in 1951, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, is located between Les Eyzies and Le Bugue. It is known for a famous engraving called Le Sorcier de Saint-Cirq, one of the rare prehistoric anthropomorphic figures. It must be added animal prints, mainly horses but also buffalo or ibex, attributed to the early and mid-Magdalenian. In the Middle Ages, people dug the cliff and established their home there. You can visit some of these troglodytic landscapes. A small museum completes the visit. Possible access to the cluzeaux of the cliff and to the hamlet.

le site est extraordinaire ( village en contrebas à visiter). Certes la grotte est minuscule et a été abimée par les occupations successives mais elle recèle de magnifique sculptures (dont bien sur cette figure humaine du "sorcier) . Convient aux personnes intéressées par la préhistoire ; site peu adapté aux enfants ; petit musée instructif

Une visite affaire en complément des autres grottes (rouffignac par exemple). Cette grotte qui est au patrimoine de l'unesco est très petite mais révèle de nombreux trésors à découvrir.
La visite est un peu cher pour une si petite grotte même si le musée situé à côté de la grotte est à visiter.

Nous avons ete déçu par cette grotte, petite et peu interressante comparé a d'autres dans le même secteur. Mauvais rapport qualité prix.
