Martin_L visited on 15th May 2001 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Due to visits by school classes we had to wait for nearly 4 hours until we could visit, but of course it was worth it. One of the most stunning prehistoric sites I have ever been to. The paintings are of outstanding artistic quality and very well preserved.

The Grottes de Cougnac are located near Gourdon approximately 50-60km SSE of the current coordinates (cannot edit now).
Been there in 2003. The paintings are absolutely stunning.
