Chauvet-Pont-d'Árc in France will be opening their reproduction of the magnificent caves in the Ardeches on 25th April.
The caves feature rock art estimated at 35 000 years old. The public has never been allowed in, and never will be, apart from a few dozen a year, for fear of damaging the “Chauvet” works. But these are fabulous items. They need to be seen. So French authorities have built a €55 million (£40m) replica a couple of miles from the original. After an official inauguration by François Hollande next week , the Caverne du Pont-d’Arc opens to all-comers on April 25. It will be the French cultural event of 2015. It is that good.
The replicas include one of the most beautiful depictions of rhinos and other wild animals. This is a must see display.
