numerous caves (Lascave, Merveilles, Pech Merle, Presque, etc...) show evidence of prehistoric times.
the Causses Regional National Park presents a striking contrast between the arid plateaus and what lies beneath a veritable kingdom of subterranean waters (including the Padirac Chasm and the Lacave and Presque caves...)
