The Grotte d'Ebbou is the secondmost important cave in the Ardeche
region, after the
Grotte Chauvet.
Like this cave it is famous for prehistoric paintings and especially engravings
in the wall, there are 70 engravings dating to the end of the Solutrean.
And also like Chauvet it is not accessible to the public.
Grotte d'Ebbou is mentioned several times in the nearby Exposition Grotte Chauvet. So, although there is no exhibition especially on this cave, there is pretty much on this cave to see. And there are numerous publications about the cave, unfortunately most of them in French.
