The original cave wall painting is 36000 years old. It is the oldest items I have visited during the prehistoric period. The original cave doesn't allow visitors due to potential climates damage to drawings . As a result the museum replica is created for visitors. The compound is big. There are several stop before your assigned time to visit the cave. We got to visit the Aurignacian Gallery. It is self guide interactive center. You can see how the prehistoric animals look like on the painting. The second stop is the workshop an education Indian hut showing the animals bone. The main attraction is the cave. You need to arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled time. It is a guided tour to the cave. Audio will provided and interactive with the location you stand. Photo is not allowed in the compound. This replica cave take 30 months to complete.

We toured as adults, and English speaking. The audio tour is timed differently than the other audio yours so the last three "stops" in the fake cave, you are still on the previous stop. The tour guide confronted us angrily about why we had fallen behind. We held out our headset for her to hear where we were on the tour. We did not start these audio guides, the people at the front desk did. It was not a factor in her insisting that the tours leave every 15 minutes, and we were messing up the timing.( My partner is French so he could speak with her.) We were guided by her to the door. We never saw the last 3 stops in the fake cave. We went to the desk and asked to see the last three stops, since we have a home in Vallon and would want be able to assist our guests. They gave us an address, and my partner sent an email in French explaining what had happened. We never got a reply. If you have children and want to see science exhibits it's a good start. If you are an older adult you will enjoy the real caves ( at least 3) located very close by. The guides are lovely, and if you plan ahead will have English speaking guides. There are steps involved but I already look forward to our next visits! We loved Marcel and Madeleine. Happy day to you!

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time on our personalized tour of the Avignon region. Pierre…read moreGerault was extremely helpful as our coordinator, tour guide and driver. We spent a full day venturing around Uzes (Pont du gard), Orange and the wine region of Chateauneuf du Pape. Pierre helped us understand more about the region and let us go at our own pace as we traveled through the day. The additional stops and unexpected recommendations or treats were extremely nice and made the journey that much more special for us. Communications were excellent prior to our arrival. We were able to express some ideas of what we were looking for and things we wanted to see and Pierre did the rest - setting us up with an itinerary that was perfect. We highly recommend Pierre and this personalized and private tour as a very unique and exciting way to see the region. You really don't feel like you are on a tour and you get to see and experience more than you would otherwise in a large group. We wished we had more time to experience other riches in the area. Slice of France is a wonderful organization and we look forward to seeing Pierre on our future visits to Southern France.
