pixlink visited on 23rd Jul 2013 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 4 open on weekends in summer months with guided tours given by working archaeologists. Well worth the trouble to visit. Visitor interpretation centre with 10 minute film in French, a display of artifacts found and context information, then you are taken into the cave in small groups to see the rock art itself. Very detailed site with panoramic photos of the cave http://www.encharente.com/vilhonneur-grotte-du-placard/
