Origin and history

The two rock shelters decorated with prehistoric engravings, located in Noisy-sur-École (Seine-et-Marne), constitute a remarkable archaeological site. Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 2 January 1953, these shelters illustrate prehistoric parietal art, although their precise dating is not mentioned in the available sources. Their location at the Chemin de la Segognole is documented in the Merimée base under the Cadastral code A 1075.

The site is representative of ancient human occupations in Île-de-France, a region where prehistoric remains are less frequent than elsewhere in France. The engravings, although not described in detail here, are part of a broader context of artistic and symbolic practices of paleolithic or neolithic societies. These shelters, protected for their heritage value, offer a material testimony of the first cultural expressions on the territory of francilian.

The accuracy of their location is assessed as "passible" (note 5/10), suggesting minor geographical uncertainties. No information is provided on their current accessibility, conservation status, or any associated archaeological excavations. The available data are mainly from the Monumentum database and the Merimée archives, without further recent studies.
