The Louis Bégouën Association regularly collaborates with various universities and research institutions in France and abroad.
1912 The Bégouën brothers undertook fruitful excavations at Tuc d’Audoubert shortly after its discovery.
1925-1937 Louis Bégouën excavated alone at Enlène and found high-quality Magdalenian material. Considering his methods outdated, he stopped his work to save some material for future excavations. A part of his collection is in the Musée de l’Homme in Paris.
1920-1938 The Abbé Breuil, called upon by Count Bégouën, worked with great skill to make copies of the Trois-Frères engravings, aided by some of his pupils and Louis Bégouën.
