Hidden in the depths of a cliff overlooking the Vézère Valley, the Font-de-Gaume cave contains one of the world's fi nest collections of prehistoric cave art. The cave, located eight hundred metres from the village of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, in Dordogne, is part of a larger series of decorated caves and rock shelters, some of which have been on the Unesco list of World Heritage Sites since 1979. Font-de-Gaume features over two hundred depictions of animals, including horses and mammoths, cervids, and even a woolly rhinoceros. Above all, there are around eighty paintings of bison, giving the cave its name of Grotte aux Bisons. The outstanding paintings can be dated to around 15, 000 years BCE and were executed along the walls of a 120-metre long gallery. Sometimes isolated, but generally clustered in friezes, the figures are grouped in some places in true narrative scenes seemingly created deliberately by the artist. Font-de-Gaume is the only cave decorated with polychrome paintings still open to the public in France.
