The guide was wonderfully enthusiastic about the display and his enthusiasm brought the dry earth walls to live! It was probably his passion and movement more then the actual display. He was able to communicate so much about the ‘history of history’, and how our ideas about it formed and changed... time and time he pointed to a position in space where something was found that was now on display in some museum or another...

So, surely not for everyone, but a great experience for us.

First the bad news, there is actually very little to see here, and much of what is on display is a documentation of past ideas (no not mis-labeled, the knowledge about the pre-history has greatly progressed, in no small part thanks to this site). We joint a French language tour, but the guide was very fluent and willing to speak English.

Tickets to the Laugerie Haute are sold at the Font the Gaume office. We joint this guided visit because the main attractions were sold-out. The abri is locate on the outskirts of town. We went not knowing what to expect, it was a great experience!
