@jordanlund @fossilesque I live nearby and am thrilled to see interest in this place. I feel compelled to show the other side of the château, which is far more dramatic. The medieval village has nothing do with the grotto, except that the site has been occupied by "people" since before people were homosapiens, so history is layered thick. The hillsides facing the village from the south are dotted with prehistoric dolmans. These views are from roughly north looking back at the defensive cliffs.

I think you missed attaching the pic, but I'd love to see it!

@jordanlund It's visible to me. Hmmm. I'll attach it again, or a different one. Thanks.

About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...
