On the day

Lascaux IV is the complete, full-scale replica of the Lascaux cave near Montignac — its 17,000-year-old painted animals recreated to the millimetre, discovered by four teenagers in 1940. The original cave has been closed to the public since 1963 to protect it, so the recreation is how families experience Lascaux today. A tablet companion turns the visit into an interactive exploration for children. Arrive at least 20 minutes before your timed slot.

Frequently asked

What ages does the child ticket cover?

Ages 5 to 12. Children under 5 enter free with no ticket needed, and everyone aged 13 and over uses the adult ticket.

Is Lascaux IV suitable for children?

Very — it's one of the best family attractions in the Dordogne. The discovery story and giant painted animals captivate kids, and a tablet companion turns the cave into an interactive treasure hunt.

Will my child be on the same slot as us?

Yes. Book the child ticket alongside the adults in your party and we put everyone on the same time slot so you enter together and skip the queue.

Is this the real cave or a replica?

It's the complete full-scale replica, Lascaux IV. The original cave closed to the public in 1963 to protect its paintings and has never reopened; the recreation is how the world experiences Lascaux today.
