Roc-aux-Sorciers, Archaeological site in Angles-sur-l'Anglin, France.
The prehistoric shelter features a 20-meter-long sculpted frieze displaying precise representations of animals and humans carved into limestone walls.
The site was first explored in 1927 by Lucien Rousseau, who discovered Paleolithic remains, leading to extensive excavations between 1947 and 1957.
The detailed carvings demonstrate the technical abilities of Magdalenian artists through anatomically accurate depictions of bison, horses, and human figures.
The Interpretation Center presents interactive displays and a scenographic video projection on a 3D replica of the shelter for educational purposes.
The frieze contains approximately thirty different animal species alongside human representations, dating back to 15,000 years ago.
