Hi, Simon,
Your link opens the Ministère de la Culure and I get this:
Accès refusé
Vous n'avez pas le droit d'accéder à cette zone.
Do you get the same thing?

I heard the other day a view on cave paintings that seeing them by fire light, ie flickering, would give the animals a sort of movement.

chm - the site is part of the official attribtion for the photo. not sure I can change it

potty - the guide demonstrated that by flickering ehr fingers across the torch. It's amazingly effective

It's a pity that cro-magbob is taken to mean not human - because theyw ere identical to us, they just didn't have our hang-ups (or our technology)
