The prehistoric part of our tour included a tour of Lascaux II caves and cave paintings, a museum tour in Les Eyzies, and cave tour en français at Perl-Meche with awe inspiring stalactites and cave paintings. We talked about the theories on evolution and the artistic effort that went into the cave paintings. The artists had to have been really good, as the paintings were done by sculpting into the cavernous rock for a three dimensional effect, and then painting. On rock you only get one shot, there’s no erasing or painting over colors.
