Prehistoric caves where you can admire the 200 hands painted on its walls, the hands with missing phalanges arouse curiosity

The decorated caves of Gargas are the only prehistoric caves in the Hautes-Pyrénées accessible to the public. The most spectacular and moving part of the visit is the large wall of hands which includes more than 137 paintings of prints. No one knows why the vast majority of these hands have missing phalanges. Elements of the answer are brought to the digital interpretation center Nestploria. An educational and moving place.

Un descubrimiento casual, que nos ha dejado encantados! Lugar para que pequeños y no tan pequeños aprendan sobre épocas prehistóricas de una forma muy amena. Guías y trabajadores muy amables y simpáticos, esforzándose por explicarnos a la vez que al resto ( traduciendo a castellano e inglés para que todos los visitantes entendiéramos sus explicaciones). Muy recomendable!!!

Un très bon moment, entre la grotte, l'espace numérique et l'exposition /atelier.
Une visite très intéressante.
12€ par personnes, c'est presque pas assez cher pour tout ce qu'il y a sur place et la qualité de la visite :)
