Ascension Weekend: The Préhistoriales!

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, the Préhistoriales are making a big comeback in La Roque Saint-Christophe.

For the 2026 edition, new presenters are enriching the program and inviting you to dive into the heart of prehistoric crafts: flint knapping, fire-making, wild basket weaving, jewelry-making, Neolithic pottery, hide tanning, prehistoric music, spear-making, spear-throwing, and archery… so many immersive experiences to enjoy firsthand.

An exceptional new feature this year, on Friday, May 15: the International Congress of Flint Knappers will be held concurrently with the Préhistoriales festival at the foot of the cliff, offering a unique opportunity to meet specialists from around the world.

Learn more: About the Préhistoriales and the Flint-Cutting Symposium.

The events will take place from Thursday through Saturday, May 14, 15, and 16, 2026.
