sundog found this - it's very cool!
This is info from the site:
The western edges of the Massif Central and the northern slopes of the Pyrenees are noted for an exceptional concentration of Palaeolithic caves. In fact, there are no fewer than one hundred and thirty sanctuaries, the most renowned of which is Lascaux.

There's a lot of neat stuff to see on this site - including a virtual tour of the cave. Take a look!

Great site Kell!
I thought this was great! I found it interesting about the lighting. I had never thought about that before. If ya cant see, then how could ya draw? They did find evidence though that they did know how to make and use fire.
Wonder how long the poor man who got stuck holding the torch had to stand there while the artist finished his painting??? Oh never mind LOL I'm sure the wife had that job....kinda like us holding the flashlight while the hubby looks under the car-hood after dark =P
