Bring the whole family and discover the giant! An extraordinary underground landscape with immense chambers, spectacular concretions dating back millions of years and incredible prehistoric remains!
The masterly porch of the Bédeilhac cave is a call to explore its treasures! Discover an extraordinary subterranean landscape of immense chambers and spectacular concretions. On this journey, you'll meet Cro-Magnon, who decorated the cave 16,000 years ago, using a variety of techniques as astonishing as they are rare, including painting, engraving and clay modelling. He even left his handprint.

A guided tour of the cave takes around 1h30, and conservation rules are strict in order to preserve the site, so walking sticks, walking sticks, baby carriages and photography are not allowed. Baby carriers and backpacks are permitted.
Walking or sports shoes and warm clothing are essential for your visit, as the temperature inside the cave is 12°C all year round.
Please note that you must arrive 15 minutes before the start of the tour.

Online booking is highly recommended.
