36,000 years ago, in a deep cave, the first artists in the history of mankind painted a masterpiece: horses, lions, rhinoceroses and many other animals captured on film, hunting, running or fighting.
Discovered in 1994, the Chauvet cave, which revolutionized the history of art and mentalities, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its replica, Grotte Chauvet 2 - Ardèche, opened in 2015, now allows the public to discover mankind's first great masterpiece.
