A lively, fun and educational museum.

CAIRN's Préhisto'site invites you to go back 5,000 years to unravel the mysteries of prehistoric man.

The wooded park is the setting for activities and demonstrations put on by members of the tribe: fire, hunting, menhir removal workshops, face painting, pottery, jewellery and art. The museum area features 3 interactive exhibition rooms (3D film, touch screens, etc.).

Enter the tribe and experience a (pre)historic day!

In July and August, daily from 10.30am to 7pm.
Other school holidays and bank holidays, daily from 2pm to 6pm.
Out of school holidays, Monday to Friday, 2pm to 5pm (unaccompanied tours).
