Visite intéressante conduite par un passionné compétent et pédagogue.
Ce qu'on peut voir sur le site n'est pas très concret pour un néophyte...

What a fascinating place. The charming young paleontologist was so knowledgeable and passionate. I took our grandchildren and he explained some really complex information in English for them. It was quite mind blowing to gain an insight and a visual idea of what this part of Europe was like 17 million years ago.

Ce site majeur mériterait d'être beaucoup plus connu.
Un très agréable voyage dans le temps. ????????????
Félicitations au guide !
