Thouzon Caves

Highlight • Gorge

The Grotto of Thouzon is a shallow dripstone cave, which was absolutely dry during our visit in the fall of 2019, means that the paths were dry and it did not drip from the ceiling. So no stairs have to be climbed. It is guided guided tour, with a guided tour takes 45 minutes and is interesting. Please first study the opening hours on the internet. During our visit, she was closed for lunch and we had to change our bike tour so that we could visit the grotto again later, so that we could still visit it. Parking is free and there is also a bike rack and a kiosk with a toilet.

Thouzon Castle

Highlight • Castle

In 1014 the Saint-André Abbey of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon was attributed to the Benedictines, who took over the possession of the churches located on Mount Thouzon , with their dependency. Ingilramnus, Bishop of Cavaillon, confirms this new institution in his diocese in 1014 by handing over the property.
Raymond IV of Saint-Gilles, Count of Toulouse, transforms the Abbey of Thouzon into an allodial fief in 1088 before setting out on the First Crusade. In 1096, Pope Urban II confirmed the possession of Thouzon in the Abbey of Saint-André by only mentioning Saint-Pierre-de-Thouzon.
