English: The Volp caves are a group of prehistoric caves in Ariège, Midi-Pyrénées, France, most famous for their Magdalenian IV (middle period) art and artefacts : the Cave of the Trois-Frères, a "sanctuary cave" (not a habitat) famed for its parietal art and above all for its iconic dancing shaman ; the Tuc d'Audoubert, that yielded the no-less famous clay sculpture of bisons beside many parietal engravings and some archaeological material ; and Enlene, well-known for its astonishingly large collection of tablets, many engraved, and to which the equally-famous first known figure of an insect (the Enlene grasshopper) was eventually reattributed to, as it is unlikely to have come from the Trois-Frères that hold very little furniture. The Volp caves are a French Listed site.
