Jackson982 visited on 1st Sep 2023 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Entry to the cave is free but the tours are audio tours as small groups.
There are separate tours in English and French so you need to check the times of the English tour.
There is an excellent audio/visual to explain the history of the cave and a small, but very good, museum.
There has been extensive excavation and literally thousands of artifacts have been found. There is ample evidence of Neanderthal occupation.
