  • I am particularly interested because I visited the Lascaux caves (discovered in 1949 by two school boys) in south France 4 years' ago. As Herzog explained, they were closed due to the breath of thousands of visitors causing a mould on the walls, but an exact reproduction of the caves was built along side the original... and can be visited.
