Thot Park

Discovering

Discover the relationships between prehistoric Mankind & Animals

Located in the heart of the Périgord, Thot Park provides an introduction to cave painting and can round out your visit to the Lascaux International Centre. A non-guided visit, lasting approximately an hour, focuses on the relationship between prehistoric Mankind and Animals. Come and visit with family or friends!

Immerse yourself in the world of Thot Park! Here, you’ll discover the animal species that coexisted with Cro Magnon humans: mammoths, cave bears, spotted hyenas, megaceros ... From augmented reality and discovery workshops all the way to a 3D animated film, revisit 2 million years of climate history and its consequences on the evolution of humans and animals.

Think you know everything about cave paintings? Think again! How about revisiting two million years of climate history and immersing yourself in a unique, interactive experience, where you will meet the animals who lived alongside Cro-Magnon man.

Visitors can spend some quality time bonding with the park’s animals, in particular the wolves, Taïga, Cheyenne and Django. Watch from the wings as the handlers prepare their food, feed the wolves and observe individual animals: two hours in the life of an animal handler!

Thot Park is a great place to learn about the relationship between mankind and animals since the beginning of time.

The visit is fun, educational, and recreational, and takes place in the heart of a natural environment… it is the perfect site for a family day out. I particularly love the treetop walkway from which you get a panoramic view of the wolves.

My favourite time for visiting Thot Park is in spring: if you are lucky, you might witness the birth of a baby auroch or fawn. Take the time to watch carefully, quietly, and you may see the young animal take its first steps…

Thot Park? For me, this is the ideal place to learn about our origins. Being close to these animals that made our past and are still around today is poignant.

The environment is just amazing: there are lots of animals, some of which are easy to approach and they add a whole new dimension to the cave paintings.The workshops for children are really worth doing – the activities are of a high quality and the group leaders are patient and great teachers.
