      When you go to the Grand Roc Cave, you will first be surprised by the breathtaking view of the Vézère Valley. Then, you will travel through a veritable little mineral forest made up of an incredible variety and density of crystallizations. Can you recognize stalactites, stalagmites and calcite flows? You will also be amazed by the impressive amount of eccentrics! Not to be missed: the nocturnal visit to the cave with the hurricane lamp during the summer. Winter or summer, take advantage of the natural air conditioning of the cave, 16° all year round!

      EVENTS:


      • Night visit to the hurricane lamp: school holidays.
      Equipped with a storm lamp, you explore the cave in conditions close to those of its discovery by Jean Maury in 1924. A second exploration in the usual light will reveal the beauty of this mineral forest and you will be able to admire in more detail the incredible variety and density of crystallizations.

    A site of significant geological interest. Had a great tour with an excellent guide who was able to entertain both French and English speakers. Fantastic views from outside the caves too and there was a fantastic selection of ice creams. Car park was also large.

    Access to the cave is up steps and steep slopes. It’s worth wearing sensible footwear! Our tour guide - Naïs, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for the tour! Our tour was in French...
