The galleries of the Cougnac caves house some exceptional stalactites; in particular the roof is covered with these tiny straw-like structures. It also hides some prehistoric artwork: paintings of ibex, mammoth, deer and humans, as well as many symbols. These date to approximately 20,000 years ago.
