“The prehistoric site of Laugerie-Basse has left a distinct mark on every student of the Prehistoric. The site is famous for its artefacts, which show a world reinvented by the imagination of the Magdalenian hunters. Nestled at the foot of a majestic cliff, the rock shelters can be explored along a calm trail in the shade of the cliff, lulled by the sound of birdsong.”
