Lascaux IV educational tour
Pupils explore a realistic replica of the Lascaux cave, accompanied by a guide, for about an hour. They then continue the visit by discovering the interactive circuit relating the history of the discovery, cave art around the world and its links with contemporary art, with or without a digital tablet.
🕒 Duration of the guided tour : approximately 1 hour
We offer tailor-made, themed educational tours. Feel free to contact us and we will design for you a school day perfectly adapted to the curriculum of your choice (art, lifestyles, evolution of techniques and knowledge).
Special ‘field trip’ storytelling tour
Imagine… Your young explorers enter the Lascaux cave equipped with a storm-lamp and are soon confronted with a shocking encounter: facing them is a Homo sapiens from 21,000 years ago! This journey through the daily life of humanity’s first artist takes pupils back to prehistoric times.
🕒 Duration : a 1 h 15 guided tour + free visit of complementary areas.
New for 2025 ! We are offering two guided tours, both adapted for pupils from CP to CM2:
• The youngest children (CP, CE1) will be guided by an artist from the Lascaux clan, who will come from the past and reveal the mysteries of the cave to them.
• The older children (CE2, CM1 and CM2) will go on an adventure in the company of an archaeological explorer !
A school trip to the Parc du Thot
Located just 7 km from Lascaux IV, the Parc du Thot will enhance your school trip in the Dordogne by offering an interactive approach to understanding the relationship between Man and Animals in prehistoric times. Pupils will be given the opportunity to observe the animals that Cro-Magnon lived with (wolves, aurochs, etc.). In the museum, the 3D film will take them back to the last Ice Age, and thanks to the Time Mirror, they will meet the large mammals that disappeared in that era.
🎟️ Enjoy a discounted combined ticket for Lascaux IV and the Parc du Thot !
Discovery workshops at the Parc du Thot
In addition to the tours, the Parc du Thot offers interactive workshops, supervised by mediators, to help pupils discover the skills of prehistoric man: cave art, ornament making, archaeological digs, flint knapping, grease lamps and leatherwork. It’s a real fun experience to share as a group!
From 5 years old / Duration : 1 hour
