The Grotte des Renardières is a prehistoric cave located in the northeast of the Charente department, in the commune of Les Pins.
This site has had several periods of Paleolithic occupation, attributed to the Azilian, Magdalenian, Badegulian, Gravettian, Aurignacian, Châtelperronian and Middle Paleolithic by Véronique Dujardin in 2001.
Above the old levels was unearthed by Bruno Boulestin and Gomez de Soto in 2003 an important sepulchral ensemble of the Bronze Age with several young individuals accompanied by ceramic furniture, including an old bowl typical of this period.
