Grotte de Mas D'Azil
Trip No.202 Date Added: 30th Nov 2010
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: France (Midi:Ariège (09))
Visited: Yes on 1st Jul 2002
Grotte de Mas D'Azil submitted by thecaptain on 13th Dec 2003. The southern, upstream, entrance to the magnificent cave at Mas D'Azil, Ariege, southwest France.
The river takes a shortcut through the hillside here, and has created a massive cave, which is so big that a fairly large road also runs through the cave.
Within this cave were found signs of life going back tens of thousands of years, and indeed the world famous Faon aux Oiseaux spear thrower. The finds here gave the name Azilian to an entire prehistoric culture.
