Grotte de la Marche: Discovered in 1914 by H. Lavergne who discovered some flint tools there, it did not deliver its important remains of engraved furniture until 1937. Platelets, bones and ornaments date from the Magdalenian. This cave is remarkable for its large number of representations of human beings whose most famous representation is the man or "old man" of walking. It also houses representations of cave lions. Human representation is rarely treated in Paleolithic art, and when it is, it is most often schematically. At the March, many faces are represented, treated in profile but also sometimes from the front, revealing individualized features, very accentuated. All of these engravings are therefore an exception, which makes it unique in the world. There are 155 human representations there, showing men surprisingly identical to ourselves.
