Niaux (English spelling)
A village in the Ariège department in southwestern France. Population: about 200. There are remains of cave paintings from the Late Paleolithic period. The huge cave runs horizontally through a limestone mountain range at an altitude of 1,190m, connecting two valleys. The cave facing Nihaut is called Nihaut Cave, and the one on the Ussat side across the mountain is called Lombrives Cave. The two caves are separated by a large pond 1,400m from the entrance of Nihaut Cave. The Nihaut Cave paintings were investigated by H. Breuil and É. Cartailhac in 1906 and revealed to be from the Paleolithic period.
