Tribute to lost giants

Inaugurated in July 2007, the Musée des Dinosaures d'Espéraza is France's first museum devoted entirely to dinosaurs and their contemporaries.
It follows on from a first version, inaugurated in June 1992, which was a great success but soon proved too small.
Over 3,500 m2 of exhibition space takes visitors back in time to the origins of life on Earth, some 3.5 million years ago.
Hundreds of fossils, millions of years old, are on display, including dinosaurs, reptiles, mammals, invertebrates and plants discovered all over the world.
France's largest deposit of dinosaurs is just a few kilometers away in Campagne-sur-Aude.
Among the rare finds is Eva, a large sauropod dinosaur, the most complete ever found in France.
The first bones were discovered in 2001 by Eva Morvan, with the skeleton of over 200 bones being found in 2007.
