Storia
As early as 1912, François d'Achon discovered there a series of animal bones and flints. The bones were found near the main entrance of the Grotte. They correspond to several species of mammals: bison, bears, horses, hyenas, rhinoceroses, marmots and various cervids. The flints, about a hundred specimens, were found towards the back of the first corridor: Acheulean-type handaxes and cleavers, knives, scrapers and Mousterian-type points.
