In the year 2000 the  cave system was listed as one of France’s greatest sites (Grand site de France). Besides the usual stalagmites and stalactites there are other phenomenon such as the “pine cone” and the “palm trees”  and the organ pipes.  The tour takes around an hour which includes a son & lumiere spectacle.

You can continue your discovery of this environment with a caving expedition.  You need to be fit and confident in an enclosed situation. Apply at the reception desk.

On the same site you will find the Regional Museum of Prehistory.  There are notes in English explaining the exhibits.
