SUMMARY:Decorated Caves of the Pyrenees & the Rhone Valley
DESCRIPTION:Discover a collection of magnificent but largely unheralded examples of Ice Age art while in the company of acclaimed paleoanthropologist and popular trip leader Ian Tattersall. Admire unusual\, elegant bas-relief animal images in Basque caves\, a profusion of hand prints at Gargas\, and the famous panels of line-drawn and subtly shaded bison\, horse\, and ibex at Niaux. Visit the recently opened Cosquer Méditerranée\, a replica of a heavily decorated\, now submerged\, prehistoric cave that was discovered in 1985. The trip concludes with a visit to the spectacular Chauvet Cave replica at Vallon-Pont-d’Arc\, which expertly recreates the earliest\, and perhaps most impressive\, of the many masterpieces of Ice Age art dated to some 35\,000 years ago. Enjoy fine food and delightful\naccommodations while an expert tour manager handles all the logistics.
