    • ArchéoParc is the archaeological animation park of PréhistoSite.


      In a green setting, the ArchéoParc allows visitors to immerse themselves in the heart of prehistory with reconstructions of nomadic habitats and the vegetation cover of the time. Animals play an important role with life-size reconstructions of prehistoric animals and real living aurochs.

      Every day, cultural mediators bring the gestures of our ancestors back to life through demonstrations of flint knapping and fire lighting and invite visitors to learn about prehistoric hunting.


      During school holidays (zone A), additional workshops (included in the entrance ticket) are also offered such as prehistoric painting, jewelry making or stone engraving.

      Holiday Workshop Details


      The visit to the ArchéoParc is completed by the museum where collections of archaeological objects from the excavations carried out on the archaeological site of the Pope's Caves since the 19th century are presented. Guided tours are offered every day of opening with visits adapted for children.

      Visit details


      The archaeological site of the Pope's Caves is also open to visitors exclusively by reservation. Two types of visits are available:

      • Quick access (by vehicle) from April to October;
      • Via the cave trail (hiking) from April to September.

      • Entrance > museum + ArchéoParc + holiday workshop: €11 / reduced €9.50 / Tribe pass: €36

    Disappointing visit. Passionate about prehistory, we were looking forward to visiting this site. However, we were disappointed once we arrived: the young tour guide was limp and uninteresting (he seemed more interested in his hair than in what he was telling us). Then we attended a demonstration on how fire was made back then, and this time, another young man made condescending remarks, something I find inappropriate in this type of place; it seems unprofessional to me. I was also shocked to see two ancient breed cows seeking shade in their enclosure. It seems to me that reproductions of extinct animals are sufficient at this type of site. We had also planned to take a guided tour of a nearby cave the next day, but we decided to cancel it when we learned it would be with the same guide who had shown us around the museum. The only pleasant moment was when making a stone pendant with a professional and caring young woman who deserves 5 stars.

    I never knew that such carvings from this period existed. Excellent tour and in a very pretty village not far from where I was staying at Marpaps.
