Grottes de Lacave, Lacave

Huge underground galleries and lakes

featured in Sights & Sites

Accessed today by a small electric train, these caves were discovered in 1902 by Armand Vire and at the time required a descent of over 60 metres.

The vast cavernous halls, with their rock features and stalactites, reflect in the underground lakes creating a stunning mirage effect. These limestone caves are impressive in size and worthy of a morning's trip
