An impressive cave to look at but not one to visit with children. It could have taken 15 minutes to walk around but instead you crawl along in a large group, regularly stopping, for 45 minutes with incredibly bored young children who want to keep moving. The tours are only in French and although you are given a translation card, it is only a short synopsis so there’s lots of waiting around with no understanding of the great detail that the guide must be going into. (Also a warning if you are going: the lights are turned off and you’re plunged into pitch darkness for a few moments at the beginning which is petrifying for little ones)
A very interesting cave experience. Not over crowded and too commercialised!! It has a small gift shop reasonably priced and a place for a snack and drink.
What can we say. Amazing, stunning. Totally worth €11.50

Very well worth a visit, tour in French but guide spoke good English and with written handout all was good. The way the cave is lit adds to appeal.

Lovely cave where we took our somewhat reluctant 7 and 11 year old boys. They loved it with spectacular stalactites and unusually shaped formations in vast quantities. Well worth the time to visit
