Gargas Prehistoric Caves Description
(Local Name: Grottes Prehistoriques de Gargas) Gargas Prehistoric Caves have been very popular among archeologists and prehistorians, who have discovered numerous engravings from the Aurignacian and Gravettian periods, as well as evidence of human occupation from the Acheulean period (100,000 BC) to the Perigordian period (20,000 BC). There are also over 230 handprints, some more than 25,000-years-old.
