We visited Grotte du Mas d'Azil recently, and despite not been very sure if to go into the grotte or pass by, we were pleased we had taken the tour and visit the site. The natural cave is huge!!, the tour was very informative, the guide very helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in the cave. We found it fascinating. It was a shame, the amateurs archeologist did not use the best methods to clean the cave to start with, back in the late 19Century, but since then,many other findings have been discovered, including traces of the first modern human people in Europe, circa 35.000 years ago.We were just disappointed not to have time to visit their museum just 1Km away from the grotte due to their timetable not matching ours, as we felt we wanted to learn If you do not take the grotte tour, but go by, I am sure you will enjoy this unusual site.
