Desdemaines-Hugon takes readers on a fascinating journey through the ice caves of the Dordogne region of France. An eminent scholar of prehistoric anthropology and cave art, she has studied these sites extensively for more than 25 years and often gives tours of the area to visitors. Here, she has chosen five of the valley's sites still open to the public. Her readers will come away hoping someday to visit them in person. She provides in-depth, step-by-step descriptions of each sight, describing the setting, artwork, and possible pigments and tools used.
