 The particularity of the Sorcerer's Cave lies in the fact that you will see sculptures carved at the time of the Magdalenian 17,000 years ago (time of Lascaux). Many animals are represented, such as a bison or horses. These animals are the first group of engravings. The second one is particularly impressive since it shows three human figures, including the famous 'sorcerer'.
