iCONiKS Sites experiences to live (and win!)

The Sorcerers' Rock: Explore the cave of prehistoric artists

Ready for a 15-year journey through time? At Roc aux Sorciers, discover a reconstruction of a rock shelter sculpted by the Magdalenians, often nicknamed “the Lascaux of sculpture.”
Small local pride: This archaeological treasure was revealed by two women, Suzanne de Saint-Mathurin and Dorothy Garrod, whose remarkable work enabled the site to be classified as a Historic Monument.

Sculpted friezes, plays of light and shadow... everything here immerses you in the art of origins.

A stone's throw from the Roc aux Sorciers, another monument offers you a meeting with History. Classified among The Most Beautiful Villages of France, Angles-sur-l'Anglin impresses with its fortress perched above the valley.
A breathtaking view guaranteed... but a less tranquil atmosphere in the Middle Ages! Long ago, a native of the village, Jean de La Balue created some of the dungeon's "cages" to torture his enemies.

Today, it is the emotion, the “Wow” effect of the iCONiKS Sites, which awaits you in this setting worthy of a novel Medieval.

📍Angles-sur-l'Anglin (55 km or 55 min from Poitiers)
