The Grotte Château de La Roche Courbon (caves of the Chateau La Roche Courbon) are numerous rather small caverns located south of the castle at the foot of a limestone cliff. The caves were used by prehistoric man and numerous remains were found in the caves, hence the caves are often referenced as les grottes préhistoriques. The caves were inhabited in palaeolithic times during the Mousterian, Aurinacian and Magdalenian periods, from 120,000 to 10.000 BC. The discoveries are on display in the museum of prehistoric objects in the keep.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
The caves looks so inviting but the darkness of them creates a little apprehension, Antonio. The rock coloring really enhances the entrances. Well composed.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
Interesting how the caves are all different sizes and shapes and ivy growing on the limestone. Could you go inside any of the caves? They sure have a long and fascinating history António!

An interesting narrative to go with this photo Antonio. A nice capture of the caves. I like the textures in the shot and the colours.

Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see. - Philip Guston
Wow. Thanks for bringing these scenes to us here. I know I'd never get to see them otherwise. I wonder how it felt to be in the midst of such antiquity.

Great image of these troglodyte caves. They are similar to the caves in The Dordogne Valley.
