Lascaux Cave is a famous prehistoric site located in southwestern France. Discovered in 1940, it features some of the most remarkable examples of Paleolithic cave paintings, estimated to be around 17,000 years old. The artwork primarily depicts various animals, including bison, deer, and horses, showcasing the artistic skills of early humans. The cave is part of a larger complex and spans approximately 2,500 meters. Due to concerns about preservation, access to the original cave has been restricted since 1963. A replica, known as Lascaux II, was created to allow visitors to experience the art without damaging the original site.
