This walk takes us back to the <strong>Prehistory<\/strong>. It will take you half an hour to get there by car from the Ch\u00e2teau de Foix.<br><br>The Niaux cave is located in the Pyrenees, near the village of Niaux, and is a real local wonder. It dates back some 14,000 years.<br>This archaeological treasure trove extends over almost 2 kilometres of underground galleries, although only a small part is open to the public for preservation reasons. During your visit, you'll see the highlight of the Niaux cave: the Salle du Grand Plafond. This large, dark \"room\" is decorated with impressive stalactites and stalagmites.<br><br><em><strong>How to make the difference<\/strong> ? Well, just remember that stalagTites fall, and stalagMites rise!<\/em><br><br>And if you open your eyes wide, you'll see what this place is famous for: the <strong>cave paintings <\/strong>on the walls.<br><br>You can appreciate all the beauty, realism and quality. Bison, horses, goats, animals of all kinds blend together in a colourful symphony. The materials used for the drawings are none other than natural elements, the same as those found in nature today: charcoal and ochre. You can take a guided tour of the cave, which lasts an hour and a half.
