Nowhere! The Grotte de Lascaux is in France!
The Lascaux is a cave of southwest France in the Dordogne River valley.

You specify any particular examples but the main reasons are conservation (as with the original Lascaux Caves), safety (or rather fears of liability!) and in the case of show-caves, commercial failure. Also of course, closure to the "public" does not necessarily preculde access for genuine cavers & cave-researchers.
