The Pech Merle cave near Cabrerets in the Lot department contains some of the best-preserved Upper Paleolithic paintings in France — mammoth, bison, and the famous spotted horses panel, dated to roughly 25,000 years ago. The 0 Euro souvenir note program, launched in 2015 under the UEEА umbrella, essentially weaponized tourist sites as paper collectibles, with Oberthur Fiduciaire producing the notes to genuine euro security standards: correct paper, watermarks, and UV features. They are legal in format but carry no monetary value and were never intended for banking circulation. Pech Merle was one of the earliest sites in the inaugural wave.
