...absolutely nothing: no new plantings on the surface, no sealing it off with doors, and for each generation, just one chief responsible for studies and conservation. Everything we did is the opposite of Lascaux." The era and the circumstances of Lascaux's discovery prevented such a pristine approach. After the war, France - and the community of Montignac - needed a boost, and as a phenomenal tourist attraction, Lascaux was there to provide one.
