The Gouffre and about 1 km of the underground cave system are open from late March to early November of a year at daytime, sometimes even in the evening, for visitors. For the descent into the Gouffre a steel tower with 455 steps was built. There are also two elevators available. At the foot of the Gouffre a ramp leads over the debris cone to a depth of 103 m and then through the eroded tube of the river. From a concrete pier, visitors to the caves will continue for 500m on barges along the up to 4m deep river, bordered by rock, to a crevasse where the cave expands. Guided cave tours take secured steps through the 94m high Salle du grand Dôme, the Salle des Grands Gours with large sinter basins and a 40m high and 6m wide stalagmite and a 25m long, 4m thick stalactite that touches the surface of the river. About 1.5 km from the entrance ends the sightseeing opportunity. Rear areas of the cave are open to scientists only for research purposes

Castelnau-Bretenoux Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Very beautiful and well-preserved castle from the 13th century. Entry costs €8 and is definitely worth it. It is also easy to reach by bike on a beautiful cycle path through an idyllic landscape.
