La Marche Cave

The La Marche cave is located in the Lussac-les-Châteaux area of western France [1]. It is at the bottom of a small valley bordered by the Petit Moulin river [1]. It most likely is the result of the underground tunneling of the river [1]. The La Marche cave paintings were discovered in the caves in the Lussac-les-Châteaux area of France by Léon Péricard in November 1937 [1]. Péricard, and his partner Stephane Lwoff, studied these caves for five years and found etchings on more than 1,500 slabs [1]. In 1938, they presented their discovery to the French Prehistoric Society [1].
