The discovery of the Chauvet-Pont d'Arc cave
Unesco world heritage site
the first images and the first emotions, the discoverers tell their story
Quatrième de couverture
A karst plateau,
Hundreds of caves,
Thousands of small vestibules,
And as many slight drafts.
One day, one of those drafts leads us to a forgotten cave.
A cave that holds the memory of humanity
And has been sealed off for thousands of years.
A sanctuary, witness of ancient rituals, meeting place of the spirits of the Earth.
Dancers dance breathlessly, the sound of flutes continues to resonate.
A child's foot leaves its imprint in the clay floor.
Torchlight quivers, animals gallop.
Ochre shines on the rock walls.
Melodies reverberate from afar,
Their echo fading.
When suddenly, everything comes to a halt.
The skull grimaces one last time.
A drip hits the ground.
Noise stops forever.
Then we arrive.
