Abri Reverdit, Prehistoric rock shelter in Sergeac, France
The Reverdit shelter measures 15 meters wide, 5 meters deep, and 3 meters high, located at the base of an east-facing cliff in Vézère Valley.
Alain Reverdit discovered this archaeological site in 1878, leading initial excavations that revealed 19 carved blocks with prehistoric art and sculptures.
The shelter contains a sculpted frieze extending 3.5 meters, depicting horses and bison figures created during the Magdalenian period, approximately 17,000 years ago.
Located at 975 Route de Castel Merle in Sergeac, the site requires advance planning for visits due to its protected status as a classified historical monument.
The shelter walls preserve traces of red and black paint, suggesting complex artistic activities alongside the carved animal representations from the Upper Paleolithic period.
