Meyrieres Cave, a cave in Bruniquel in Tarn-et-Garonne, which contained multi-colored ancient cave paintings at one point in time. In the early 1990s a Protestant youth group, Eclaireurs de France, whose name means "those who show the way," as part of their campaign to stamp out graffiti erased the ancient paintings from the walls of the Meyrieres Cave earning them the 1992 Ig Nobel Prize in Archaelogy.
