Meeting the artists of prehistory
Just a few minutes from Angles-sur-l'Anglin, the Roc aux Sorciers Interpretation Centre offers a fascinating experience for the whole family, right at the heart of prehistory. This exceptional site is home to a monumental carved frieze nearly 20 metres long, created around 15,000 years ago by the Magdalenians. Carved directly into the rock, it depicts with striking realism the emblematic animals of the time — bison, horses, ibex — and is now one of the major works of prehistoric art, comparable to the greatest European sites.
In order to preserve this fragile treasure, the original frieze is no longer accessible to the public, but the centre offers a highly accurate 3D reconstruction, allowing visitors to observe every detail, every relief and every expression crafted by prehistoric artists. Thanks to modern, fun and interactive scenography, young and old alike can immerse themselves in the daily lives of these prehistoric men and women: their artistic techniques, their relationship with animals and their environment.
