You're standing at the Lascaux cave, on a hill above Montignac in the Dordogne in south-western France. There's not much to see up here: trees, limestone, a sealed entrance. But beneath your feet lies the most richly painted prehistoric cave ever found. It's been called the Sistine Chapel of prehistoric art.
