Description

Internationally renowned, this paleontological site is of exceptional scientific and educational interest because it is the oldest Tertiary site in France and the second oldest in Europe. The paleontology museum houses many discoveries from the Menat site. From the exhibited specimens, it is possible to go back in time and understand that climate change is not a new phenomenon. Pieces are of particular interest and some are even on display at the Paris Museum of Natural History, others are the subject of scientific studies.
