A very beautiful journey. Dense, rich, educational. Quite wonderful!
A safe visit
A FAMILY OUTING TO THE SISTINE CHAPEL OF THE PREHISTORIC ERA
READY TO BE IMMERSED IN THE WORLD’S FINEST DECORATED CAVE, THANKS TO A REVOLUTIONARY NEW TECHNOLOGY ?
Lascaux Expériences has everything you need for a great family outing :
If you like sharing the thrills
- Each of you will have your own unique experience of the cave.
- Put on the headset and begin your voyage of discovery in the famous Hall of the Bulls.
- Your guide, the “spirit of the cave”, will be with you throughout the visit to explain the history of this mythical site.
- Once you take off your headset, there will be just one thing on your mind: sharing and comparing your feelings and impressions. Which was your favourite part?
- Younger children will enjoy an age-appropriate activity designed specifically with them in mind, instead of the VR experience.
If you like learning together
From virtual to real, the physical exhibition that accompanies the immersion decodes this treasure of art history through 8 modules:
1. The history of the discovery: discover the history and the journey of the four teenagers and the dog who discovered Lascaux.
2. The evolution of the reproduction technology: discover the work of the artists and technicians who reproduced Lascaux.
3. A miraculously preserved cave: discover why this site was chosen to create the most spectacular sanctuary in prehistory.
4. The oldest "visual narrative" in the world: discover the story of the "well scene". It appears to us as a film to which only the sound would be missing.
5. An interactive exploration of the paintings and engravings: discover how the artists of Lascaux managed to create movement and tell a story on the walls.
6. Research around an enigma: discover the fine details of the engravings, the set of mysterious signs that perhaps form the language of Cro-Magnon men and the tools used to paint Lascaux
7. The life and culture of Cro-Magnon: discover the tools and food remains found in the cave. They tell you how these populations lived.
8. Meet the experts: discover the points of view of eight of the most eminent specialists of Lascaux.
If you like a shared challenge
If you opt for the combined experience, you will move on to the village of experiences. Qualified archaeologists will show you how to make fire using a flint, and how to draw in the style of the prehistoric artists. Then you could try a family mammoth hunt, visit our prehistoric cave, lose yourself in the evolution labyrinth and so much more!

- a maximum of 70 people/hour in a space of 800 m², i.e. more than 11 m²/pers.
- systematic and complete disinfection of the virtual reality helmets
- a private space of 9 m² to live the virtual reality experience
