Grotte de Tourtoirac Cave, Tourtoirac
Excellent rock formations in these underground caves
Only discovered in 1995, by the caver Jean-Luc Sirieix, these caves have some impressive stalactites and stalagmites along its tunnels over 20 metres below the surface.
The project to open the caves as a museum has focused on protecting the natural environment and on making the caves accessible to all. The guided tour of the caves takes around one hour and it is possible to pre-book a tour in your own language. The temperature underground remains a constant 13 degrees centigrade so remember a jumper!
