Huge cave and unexpectedly amazing. The evolution of Neaderthals occurred in this cave. The tour has a French and English version but they are at different times and it's 5 euros but otherwise, the site is actually free. The tour features projections in the cave with the stories of our origins. There's also a simulation before entering the cave that explains the sea level changes and sediment deposits over the ages. The whole area has information on various hominids, flora, and fauna. There's also a little exhibition behind the gift shop. It can be very hot outside but they were kind enough to provide water for people! Also, the gift shop is well stocked with interesting goods and they wrap them up very nicely if it's a gift. Great place. I recommend.

Interesting place with a great 5 minute film reconstructing this history through age, animation and diagrams. Friendly staff. Go between 12noon and 2pm and everything is free. Great place to pop into if you're staying in Nice but not worth, in my opinion, a special visit.

The explanation was available in english and was very informativ. The lightshow at the end was amazing. If you're in Nice, you shouldn't miss it!

Most interesting prehistoric cave, with great archeological importance. Very well displayed with entertaining audiovisual presentation (with children will love as well). Mind the limited opening hours in off-season. Located at walking distance from the Port Lympia tramway station.

(Translated by Google) Place to visit, alone or with family, free and very nice! An innovative visit compared to other places, we learned a lot. Superb idea for the final staging, great job! The staff are welcoming and very friendly, and moreover very passionate! At the end of the visit, I was lucky to be able to discuss with one of the site's geologists, who gave me additional information on the site and answered all my questions with great enthusiasm. It was a very pleasant exchange !! Souvenir store small but with a nice offer of anthropology, etnology and geology books for young and old. (Original) Lieu à visiter, seul ou en famille, gratuit et très sympa! Une visite innovante par rapport à d'autres lieux, nous avons beaucoup appris. Superbe idée pour la mise en scène finale, très beau boulot! Le personnel est accueillant et très sympatique, et en plus très passionnés! J'ai eu la chance de pouvoir échanger à la fin de la visite avec un des geologues du site, qui m'a donné des informatioms complémentaires sur le site et a répondu à toutes mes questions avec beaucoup d'enthousiasme. Cela a été un échange très agréable!! Magasin de souvenir petit mais presentant une offre sympa de livres d'anthrolopologie, etnologie et geologie pour les grands et les petits.

Fantastic place to visit, and nice walk to it along the coast. One staff member was quite rude, but otherwise great experience.

Very kind personal, educational, well maintained:)

I never went

Nice Place

Place is very interesting. There was a video in english and visit was free. I give only 1 stars because lady who worked there told us to watch the video about the cave. Before the video was over she told us that french group came and we need to watch the video in a different place. That happened even before we went to see the cave. Part of the problem is that she couldn't understand english. It's wrong to higher people with pour english to a touristic place. If staff could speak english well there would be less issues which would result in a better experience. Not really happy with the whole experience even though the place is great.

Interesting cave, the tour itself was quite short but very informative

Super enthusiastic and friendly staff who gave us a great tour. The show inside the cave itself was great too!

Very interesting place to visit! Pity it was only in French! Free entry too!

Very interesting 'hidden' museum.

For some reason at the high season was closed on Monday and Tuesday. I'm just wondering for what reasons a cave has a working hours.

A short guided tour (for free and in English) about neanderthal history. I recommend taking a stop here to realize how this region played a crucial role to preserve biodiversity during the ice age.

Amazing experience and very friendly staff. This is one my favourites museums so far! Totally recommend!

Very nice (free) caves with a nice tour

I liked a lot the explanations given by the museum guide and the animations in the end of the tour. But there are very few things to see inside the cave. I was a bit disappointed that we had such a short tour of the cave and not many items to see also.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, the explanations are clear and very pretty projections on the walls of the cave, to do absolutely (Original) Très bel endroit, les explications sont claires et très jolies projections sur les murs de la grotte, à faire absolument

(Translated by Google) It is a very cool place to see the archeology of Nice, in addition they put you very curved projections. (Original) Es un lugar muy chulo para ver la arqueologia de Niza, además te ponen proyecciones muy curradas.

Just look at the level of details on his skin. He could be alive. You can take a step back on solution.

(Translated by Google) The guide was great (Original) La guide était super

(Translated by Google) Unmissable places with tourist guide, with lots of humor, accessible to people with reduced mobility, with at the end a play of sound and light in the cave (Original) Lieux incontournables avec guide touristique, avec beaucoup d'humour, accessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite, avec à la fin un jeu de son et lumière dans la grotte

(Translated by Google) Super very interesting visit especially with children. (Original) Super visite très intéressante surtout avec des enfants.

(Translated by Google) This little cave is simply magnificent due to the technology used to highlight its history, which resembles a music clip full of drawings, holographic special effects, staging and in context, all presented by a lady full of humor and hyper sympathetic who resembles Jackie Sardou (Original) Cette petite grotte est tout simplement magnifique de part la technologie utilisée pour mettre en valeur l'histoire de celle-ci qui ressemble à un clip musical bourré de dessins, d'effets spéciaux holographic, de mise en scène et dans le contexte, le tout présenté par une dame pleine d'humour et hyper sympathique qui ressemble à Jackie Sardou

Very interesting grotte with Lazer show depicting early human settlement.

This place was unexpectedly amazing. It was a big hit with my college aged kids as well.

A good and scenic walk from the city, and interesting history about the Nice area. Unfortunately only information in french. Free!

Projection mapping right on point, really high quality. This super dope experience shouldn't be for free. Would recommend 10/10. Small but amazing!

Free and interesting place and museum to visit. The people working there are very lovely and we got a guided tour.

At first I thought it would be boring, but it's really worth it! Really impressed with the presentation technology. Also the tour is free and every 30min for one language (FR or EN, but only one language at a time)

Lovely setting in a garden overlooking the sea. A small cave but very well explained and very interesting. The video animation inside the cave was so realistic you felt you were with real cave dwellers! Don’t miss the explanation video in the visitor center.

Amazing place. Interactive, 3D visualisations, english commentary and it's free. Also toilettes and drinking water refill available.

Cool show and very refreshing in the summer! We even got the show for free!

Honestly just boring, the cave is pretty small and you need to follow the tourist guide. There’s another cave 15min car ride from this place (don’t remember the name) which is much more interesting walk you can do on your own.

Excelent! Very interesting arqueological site with awesome projection in the stone, telling the history about the site. The kids (6 and 8) love it. Easy to get it by bus and after you can enjoy the beach that is few steps down the road.

Hidden gem! It's a small cave with few remains of pre-historic animals and humans but the work they made with lasers and animations was truly moving. Definitely worth a stop if you're walking by the promenade.

Nice tour, even though the story being read was a bit dry. Very cool to be able to visit a prehistoric cave/grotto. Our almost four year old loved the light show at the end of the presentation. The staff was very nice. Shows are every 30 minutes. Show up a bit before the hour for an English language show or a bit before the :30 mark for a French language show. There is no cost to enter.

Wonderful place, totally recommend, it's plenty of historical work behind it. And the entrance is free )

Really excellent and fascinating. Audio tour is available in English and shows the wonders of the cave in a fun way! Orson was fantastic and really made sure I enjoyed my visit, I hope he gets a raise!!!!

A disappointment to us - Despite the website saying you were able to visit for a self guided tour, on arrival we were informed that to enter we must join a tour. We'd have happily paid an entry fee, but certainly didn't want a tour guide!

A wonderful, memorable experience at the Lazaret Grotte, where you'll find yourself warmly welcomed and given a very interesting tour on the results of an excavation that spanded for over 50 years. This is certainly a must see in Nice, especially if you are interested in archaeology.

(Translated by Google) Cave inaugurated in 2017, containing archaeological finds of the presence of the first primitive men in this area. The part that can be visited is small, in fact the visit lasts half an hour, but it is very well done, with a suggestive final video. The visit is in French, but the guide was available to give an introduction in English. The visit is free and in this period limited to 5 people at a time. On site there is also a shaded terrace with tables and services. (Original) Grotta inaugurata nel 2017, contenente reperti archeologici della presenza dei primi uomini primitivi in questa zona. La parte visitabile è piccola, infatti la visita dura una mezz'ora, però è molto ben fatta, con un video finale suggestivo. La visita è in francese, ma la guida è stata disponibile a fare un'introduzione in inglese. La visita è gratuita e in questo periodo limitata a 5 persone per volta. Sul posto c'è anche una terrazza all'ombra con dei tavolini e i servizi.

(Translated by Google) The history of the cave is brought up differently compared to what is usually done. It is refreshing. The staff on site are competent and friendly. Visit not very long so I recommend. (Original) L'histoire de la grotte est amené différemment comparé à ce qui se fait habituellement. C'est rafraîchissant.

The visit (30 minutes therefore) is guided by a voice broadcast in the cave and a play of light. The visit is punctuated by a 3D film projected on the walls. Really great !. The reception is very good. (Original) Nous avons fait la visite en période de Covid : l'acces est limite a 5 personnes/demi heure. La visite (30 mn donc) est guidee par une voix diffusée dans la grotte et un jeu de lumiere. La visite est ponctuée par un film 3D projeté sur les parois. Vraiment top!. L'accueil est très bon.
