Village of copper age, Cambous offers the originality of these villages built in dry stone, installed on Jurassic limestone extensively cracked, what geologists call a lappiaz. Excavations have made it possible to discover tools in silex, in bones, many terracotta containers that make it possible to imagine intense culinary activity… The populations who settled there 5 000 years ago developed a way of farming and pastoral life that has been preserved until today. During the visit, in the middle of the garrigue, excavations are explained and completed on the reconstitution of one of these ancient huts. At the request, are organized for the prehistoric workshops groups: kitchen, art, fire, size of flint, pottery…

Lieu extraordinaire. Le village néolithique le mieux conservé de France, avec un archéologue à l’entrée qui explique le site de façon passionnante. A voir absolument!

B'un passez votre chemin si vous comptez apprendre des choses sur la préhistoire. Entrée chère, tarif difficile à visualiser sur internet et rien d'affiché sur le site. Il ne s'agit que de vestige de fondation de " maison". Non mise en valeur. En comparaison le site d'Alba la romaine accessible gratuitement est plus intéressant et présentable.

A simple but beautifully preserved site. Inexpensive to visit, but be aware of the 10 minute walk from the car park to get to the site, and the lack of any facilities when you get there (likewise you have to pay by cash or cheque because no internet!). An extensive visit won’t take that long - you won’t need to allow more than 30-60 minutes.
The member of staff on site was helpful and was able to explain everything we needed to know in English. We only wish the Auberge next to the car park had been open for lunch during august as that would have been a completely ideal day out!
Do check the website for times and costs. Highly recommend to anyone interested in copper age history!
