The cave of Chauvet Pont-d’Arc, in Ardèche, France, has just been named a World Heritage site by UNESCO. This is a treasure that the public will be able to discover for themselves, starting in 2015, by visiting its replica, which includes exact facsimile copies of twenty of its panels and will bear the name “The Cavern of Pont-d’Arc”. Gilles Tosello, specialist in prehistoric plasterwork, describes his technique of reconstruction of one of these frescoes, the “Panel of Horses”.
