Log Text: Fascinating to be able to see the oldest accessible cave paintings in Europe. Wonderfully helpful guide who knew our French was not up to snuff, so he would summarize often in English. The series of (inaccessible) caves along the Cure river are also interesting to visit with overviews of the archaeological history of each one and the important discoveries there.

Log Text: The condition rating applies to the actual menhir in the Latenium museum. This rough copy has all the appeal of a piece of leftover construction material, but it is a nice gesture to mark the approximate area the menhir was found.

Log Text: Spectacular setting. The reconstructions and relocations in the grounds are as impressive as the interior of the museum. Some of the items could use more thorough explanations. (For example, the names of the Auvernier Dolmen, the Columbier round cairn, and the undecorated menhir from Bauvaix are not given). Information in English would also be helpful for visitors from further afield.
