Tautavel, a small Pyrénées-Orientales village, is famous for being the discovery place of the oldest european man remains at the Caune de l'Arago.
The mineralogical researches in the palaeolithic site identified few minerals. (Mindat point is the right place not Google map point).
Hematite has been found near the old castle ruins.
Septarian nodules were found north-west of the village.
Tautavel hosts the European Center for Prehistoric Researches which display the Professor Gérard Guitard mineralogical regional collection (visit by appointment).
