Nestled in lush greenery with a touch of lavender, Malataverne is certainly
a good choice for hikers when it comes to taking a peaceful and tasty
break. A perfect crossroad stop for large herbivores in Prehistoric times but
also nowadays with highway and TGV high-speed trains, north-south transits have shaped the village throughout history. By visiting the Grotte Mandrin we can
easily imagine our Homo Sapiens ancestor observing migrating herds of animals 50,000 years ago from the cave and encountering Neanderthal men for the first time ever in Europe, this other kind of indigenous human beings.
Description
