As the abbey is still inhabited by a religious community, it&#8217;s advisable to check the visiting hours beforehand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"ls-section-block_14129939d6f6ac1262e93ed450f5b50e\" class=\"ls-section \" >\r\n        <div class=\"container container--wide\">\r\n        \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"ls__heading wp-block-heading deco\">Visit the prehistoric village of Tautavel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">In 1971, near the village of <strong>Tautavel<\/strong>, researchers unearthed a human skull dating back 450,000 years!
