Sadly the original is now in a museum in the Paris region. However this village museum (about 75 km east of Hossegor) has a replica of the ‘Dame’ (known as the ‘Dame de Brassempouy’ or ‘La Dame à la Capuche’ (‘The Hooded Lady’) and replicas of other similar finds from around Europe, plus some of the actual objects found in the Grotte du Pape cave.
