The caves of Provence Occitane lie hidden beneath the golden landscapes and hilltop villages of this beautiful sun-drenched region. An unsuspected world awaits you. A world of silence and mystery, sculpted by time and water, where nature tells its age-old story. Our spectacular caves, veritable underground jewels of the southern Gard , invite you on a fascinating exploration of geological wonders and traces of prehistoric mankind.
Each cave has its own unique atmosphere: the coolness of the rock, the play of light on the concretions, the stalactites hanging like natural draperies. In some caves, cave paintings whisper tales of the first inhabitants of this land. It’s as much a journey through time as a sensory immersion.
For the curious, the family or the adventurous, guided tours offer different levels of discovery, from contemplative strolls tocaving-style exploration, helmet and headlamp in hand. The thrill of the unknown is always accompanied bywonder at these landscapes sculpted over the centuries.
Beyond the galleries, the prehistoric museums offer a lively approach to local history, with objects, reconstructions and events. It’s a great way to extend the experience, with your family or with other enthusiasts.
