The Prehistory Museum, a must-see holiday attraction
When holidaying in the Pyrénées-Orientales, you can explore the reconstitutions and admire the fossils and objects retracing the life of our ancestors at the Prehistory Musem in Tautavel, near your 4 star campsite or 5 star campsite. Whether you’re travelling with tiny tots, friends or simply your special someone, this museum promises a captivating insight into the origins of humanity.
Start your day with a guided visit for a full immersion. Next, you can try your hand at making prehistoric tools or identifying fossils for even more fun during your museum visit. After uncovering the secrets of the daily life of Homo erectus, take an impromptu walk to the Caune de l’Arago, an archaeological site where the remains of Tautavel Man were discovered! A fascinating experience guaranteed!
This dose of culture during your camping stay will make your time at Sandaya even more enjoyable!

And for even more amusement, step into the museum’s immersive cinema room, where you can watch 3D and augmented reality films that bring the remarkable ages of prehistory back to life!
