villages, and images of the greatest cave
paintings in Europe at Lascaux II.
In Quinson in Haute Provence, explore the
Musée de Préhistoire and the spectacular
Gorges du Verdon. Then depart for the
Massif Central and its relatively unexplored
plateauland, Les Causses, interspersed
with breathtaking gorges and numerous
prehistoric dolmen and stone circles.
In the town of Roquefort, see the standing
stone and look for blackcaps, woodpeckers,
firecrests and other woodland bird species.
Then explore the Causses and the geologic
wonder of Cirque de Navacelles. Learn
