Paleosite

Go and meet our distant cousin, the Neanderthal Man… Located 15 minutes from Saintes, in the small village of Saint-Césaire in Charente-Maritime, the Paleosite invites you to follow in the footsteps of Pierrette, an individual Neanderthal, who lived more than 36,000 years ago on the land of what became the Paleosite in 2005. Thanks to a new innovative and interactive museography, the Neanderthal space allows you to lift the veil on your DNA, and brings the answers to all your questions about Neanderthals.
