Art Gallery (UNESCO Cave) Grotte de Font de Gaume

May 2, 2025
Font de Gaume Cave, Paleolithic, UNESCO listed, featuring authentic Magdalenian paintings. The Grotte entrance is lined with a rubber track that eventually becomes a "glowing path" inside the pitch-black cave. You travel a good distance, asked to stop and look up, suddenly lights highlight the massive slabs for stone on either side, showcasing original prehistoric cave art; as rows of galleries of polychrome cave paintings and engravings displaying bison, horses and mammoths all using the existing curvature of the rock formations as elements to their respective animal, on massive vaulted rock formations simply blow your mind at Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil in the Dordogne Valley, South of France (Le Midi). No picture allowed. Photograph captured by Mexican fine art photographer Abraham Torres, with a Leica C-LUX and flash digital camera.
