Museum just to the southeast of the village of St Césaire in Charente-Maritime. Includes objects found at Abri de la Roche-a-Pierrot

The first room is quite interesting with the little museum: objects coming from La Roche de Perrot but also from the ancient Musée Educatif de la Préhistoire of Sainte which is now closed.

In the first room, you can also find the reproduction of mammoths and a saber tooth tiger. The rest of the Paléosite was not very interesting for me but is perfect for children!
