Museum of the Neandertal Man"Jean
Bouyssonie"

The difference
between our ancestors and the Neandertal man is clearly shown with
a comparison between the Sapiens sapiens of which we are and the
Neandertals. You will, also, be able to stand above the 45 000 years
old man's grave thanks to a reconstitution*
of the burial place, it's
the master piece of our museum.
* Cast
made by the Musée de l'Homme in Paris, from the original
skeleton. The scientifics are still working on it.
Our museum was
created in 1996 by the town of La Chapelle aux Saints in Corrèze*
(France).
