Grotte du Bichon

Grotte du Bichon is a karstic cave in the Swiss Jura, overlooking the river Doubs at an elevation of 846 m (2, 776 ft), some 5 km (3 mi) north of La Chaux-de-Fonds. It is the site of the discovery of the skeleton of a hunter-gatherer of the Azilian (late Upper Paleolithic to early Mesolithic), dubbed "Bichon man" (homme de Bichon).
