Comment ne pas recommander ce lieu unique. En vacances dans la région nous y sommes allé ce jour avec pour guide le jeune Clément qui débute. Et bien pour une personne qui débute il est déjà très professionnel en plus d'être très sympathique. Je recommande les yeux fermés ce site merveilleux.

Magnificent ! Directly immersed in the atmosphere when you arrive: waiting time to board the little train that climbs up inside the cave. The guide is very interesting and involves the group. The interior is just beautiful and you won't know or give your head! The rooms are really very well laid out, however if you have trouble walking there is also a suitable route. The caves have human-made staircases but it makes some rooms even more beautiful because everything has been thought of not to damage these internal rocks. The price is not accessible for the duration of the visit to the bowels of the Earth.
