The famous prehistoric Lascaux caves have come to life for tourists, almost 60 years after they were made off-limits, only this time from Paris using virtual reality.
Thanks to technology, groups of 6 visitors will be able to take a 45-minute tour through the 235 meter-long cave network, starting July 8th.
The caves located in southern France, which were first discovered in 1940, are deemed as one of the most important archaeological findings of the 20th century due to cave paintings found there drawn by ancient humans.
It was closed to the public in 1963 after carbon dioxide, heat and humidity produced by around 2, 000 visitors per day damaged the paintings.
