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.

Visitée en décembre dans une ambiance très bon enfant, avec un excellent guide, très agréable et sachant à la fois transmettre sa passion pour le site et se mettre à la portée de tous.
L'espace d'interprétation est conçu plutôt à l'anglo-saxonne, avec des espaces ateliers et un espace doté de bornes numériques et vidéos.
Une très belle découverte à recommander chaudement.
