Le centre préhistorique de Ganties-Montespan (Haute-Garonne)
Top of page
THIS Memoire of the Archives de Flnstitut de Paleontologie humaine deals with palaeolithic art discovered in the side galleries of an underground river by Monsieur Casteret in 1922. Near the little village of Ganties in the region of Saint Gaudens to the south of the River Garonne there occurs a sort of natural reservoir at the base of a low chain of limestone hills which separate Ganties from another little village, Montespan. During aeons of time the waters which accumulate in the 'reservoir' have filtered through the limestone hills, eventually forming an underground river which comes out at Montespan to form a small tributary of the Garonne.
