Questions sur les Grottes
  • Are there visits in other languages ?
    • No, but we suggest that you download the commentary in different languages on your own smartphone before coming - Download the audioguide

    • We also lend paper translations of the visit (English, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and Russian).

  • Why a 2-part visit?

      • The main part corresponds to the concreted gallery and the path constitutes a loop with departure and arrival at the reception of the site. For people ready for an additional ascent effort, it is possible, at the end of the upper gallery overlooking the large room, to continue independently to the belvedere. This overlooks the Cerdon’s valley and its vineyards.
      • This second part with a higher elevation and therefore on the initiative of each and own rhythm.
    • 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.
