Summary:

The Rhône valley, a major north-south traffic corridor, a bridge between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean world, has played a major role in the settlement of all tributary valleys and gorges. Its pivotal position between temperate continental area to the West (Massif-Central) and the mountainous area to the East (Vercors and Alpes de Haute-Provence), explains its role as an enclave where microclimates have favoured the persistence of human occupations throughout the successive ice ages (late presence of reindeer, for example). Rich in rivers, gorges and plateaus containing many shelters, the region was favourable to the settling of Palaeolithic men. In fact, there is a concentration of a very large number of mousterian sites, most of them found in karst context in the form of shelters and porch caves.
