THE CHAUVET cave - world heritage of UNESCO since June 2014
In a deep Cave the first artists in the history of humanity have painted a masterpiece: horses, lions, rhinos and many other animals seized on the spot, running, hunting or fighting.
Thirty - six thousand years later, engineers and artists achieved a feat unique in the world: reconstruct the Paleolithic painted cave of the Rainbow Bridge, so-called Chauvet Cave, not far from the original discovery in 1944.
Many ways have been deployed so that it can be passed on to future generations such as follow-ups climatological and microbiological and or the development of facilities to enable the conduct of research.
A second preventive conservation plan was then based on new technologies as digital 3D almost all of the cave as well as a system of geographic information.
