  Fantastic experience - the audio visual was a highlight. Preferred walking in than taking the lift down - those with vertigo might suffer a bit!

  These caves are impressive so why have I only given it 3*? When booking the trip I didnt notice that if you weren't French or didnt understand French then you would need an audio guide. We were in a rush so didnt take any money with us to pay the extra for the audio so we just had to stand and listen to the French commentary (I know we are in France!) You are given a leaflet but as its dark down there you cant read anything! I did speak to an English couple who had purchased the headset and they said it only gave short and very limited information - much less than the guide was apparently giving. After standing around and looking for 5 mins you have seen everything so the rest of the tour 35 mins you are just standing around looking at the same thing and not understanding anything about what you are viewing. I had to come back and read up on them to understand what I had seen. My fault but I wish it had been made clearer on the web site. Maybe have a prompt when you pay to ask "do you want to purchase the audio guide?" There is a small tardis type thing that you can descend into the caves using but to be honest I wouldn't bother. I dont think you would see any more this way than walking down. It isn't cold so I dont think you need a jacket/jumper. There is one stretch that is a little low and tight but easily accessible. There is more to do and see around the site but mainly designed with children in mind.

  Perfect experience for a rainy day. Interesting stories, beautiful cave, friendly staff. Tour is in French with earphones available in other languages which is never quite as good but at least it’s an option. Tour took about 40 mins. We didn’t take the ‘lift’ down but still really enjoyed it. Would recommend for all ages, but a word of warning there is one short section which required stooping while waking so may not suit people who have back/neck trouble.
