Niaux cave preserves vivid Upper Paleolithic cave paintings—ideal for intimate, low-light compositions of horse and bison figures on rough limestone walls. Expect constant cool temps (~12–14°C) and dim, guided access, making tripod work and flash rules critical. Book ahead; arrive early for fewer groups.
