French Guided tour

1h from Lyon, Genève or Annecy - In Jura's mountains

Duration: 1 hour (+30 min Belvedere)

Access the entrance to the underground.


A guide will explain the formation and history of the Caves of Cerdon in a simple and interactive way. You will walk between stalactites and stalagmites to emerge under a majestic porch which will allow you to choose:

  • to reach the reception of the site with the guide, or

  • continue through the siphon of the old river to reach a belvedere in the middle of the cliff overlooking the vineyard of Cerdon (return on your steps to the large porch).

This last section, which gives access to the belvedere, has a greater drop not recommended for people who do not wish to make an ascent effort.


To extend your day in the great outdoors, opt for the 1-day Pass (visit to the Caves and prehistorics workshops) and learn about the gestures and know-how of our prehistoric ancestors.

Questions sur les Grottes
  • Can pregnant women, elderly people go down to the cave ?
    • The entire path through the caves is landscaped, marked and lit, but the elevation, the stairs and the temperature differences represent additional physical effort compared to a simple walk outside. It is up to everyone to judge their ability based on their physical condition, knowing that the first part remains very accessible.


    • The 2nd part of the circuit is the most physical.

  • What kind of clothes and shoes to wear during the caves visit?

    Provide warm clothing (fleece type) and comfortable shoes, preferably flat.

  • Is there a restaurant in the touristic site ?

    • "The Hunter Gatherer " offers snacks mainly based on local products as well as hot and cold drinks, to consume on the spot or to take away from the park. Open continuously throughout the day.
