A site of Paleolithic cave paintings in the Dordogne department in southwestern France. The cave is 124 meters long along the Beune River, and the paintings begin 64 meters from the entrance. Investigated by Breuil and Peyronni in 1901, this marked the beginning of the discovery of Paleolithic art. In addition to 80 bison, horses, mammoths, deer, cattle, reindeer, goats, figures representing pitfalls, and handprints are depicted in color and engraving. Notable features are the relatively large number of mammoths and reindeer, which rarely appear in cave paintings, and the large number of animal figures that are both colored and engraved.
