Grottes du Quéroy, Show cave and archaeological site in Chazelles, France.
The Grottes du Quéroy extends through 1,200 meters of limestone caves, featuring multiple chambers with mineral formations including stalactites and stalagmites.
The caves, discovered in 1892 by Lise Bosnot, contained significant archaeological findings from the Neolithic period during scientific excavations from 1972 to 1980.
Ancient vessels decorated with pictograms from the late Bronze Age found in the caves are now exhibited at the Angoulême Museum.
The cave system maintains constant temperatures between 8°C and 12°C, with guided tours covering 800 meters through 30 different chambers.
During World War II, the cave network served as a shelter for resistance fighters while previously functioning as a natural trap for Paleolithic fauna.
