Are there many stairs in the Caves?
- The tour of the caves is divided into 2 parts (see the sectional plan):
- Part 1: the 800-meter-long upper gallery corresponds to an elevation gain of approximately 5 floors to descend gradually. It has several stops to take advantage of the premises.
- Part 2: The large room and the old siphon which leads to the belvedere overlooking the Cerdon’s valley and its vineyard.
- This second section extends the visit circuit by around 400 meters with an additional elevation equivalent to approximately 5 floors. After a break on the belvedere to admire the Cerdon’s valley, the ascent takes place at your own rhythm to the reception.
-
What is the temperature in the cave ?
The upper gallery is at 13/14 °C and then drops to around 10 °C at the end of the large hall. For the second part, the temperature drops to 4 °C for 5 minutes. On the belvedere, you will find the outside temperature.
It is the temperature differences and the elevation that make this second part of the visit more physical.

Can I bring my baby or a little child?
Yes, but it is necessary to take into account temperature variations (14°C to 4°C) and to cover children well whatever their age.
