“The prehistoric site of Laugerie-Basse has left a distinct mark on prehistoric studies. The site is famous for its artefacts which reflect a world reinvented through the imaginations of the Magdalenian hunters. Nestled at the foot of a majestic cliff, the rock shelters can be explored along a calm trail which the visitor can enjoy in the shade of the cliff, lulled by the sound of birdsong.”

My favourite moment is when I have been leading a Cro-Magnon architectural workshop and the children, proud of the Cro-Magnon tent they have built, ask if they can spend the night in it…”
