If I remember right, I do not think visitors are allowed any more into
many of the the French and Spanish caves where prehistoric paleolithic
art has been discovered (Chauvet, Lascaux, Altamira etc) because of
the deteriorating effect that the humidity of our breath has on the
pigments. Therefore this might be the only way possible for all of us
to enjoy these stunning places. I think it is a must see!
Cheers
