Impressive Stone Age art that reproduces the fauna around 13,000 years ago in a very realistic way. Ledges or arches were cleverly used for three-dimensional effects.

The cave of Niaux is part of what is called the four major prehistoric art. The other three are: "Lascaux", "Altamira" and "Chauvet".
It is also very impressive with its monumental entrance and its view overlooking the valley.
