 saint marcel d'ardèche cave

Welcome to the St Marcel cave

 

Here you can discover the immense rooms and the gours (calcite pools) unique in Europe. 

 

The site of the Saint Marcel d'Ardèche cave also offers you a walk along a discovery trail called "Le chemin de la grosse pierre" (the path of the big stone) where you can discover the fauna and flora of the Ardèche Gorges, a menhir and a dolmen.

The Cave of Saint Marcel

Aven d'orgnac 

 

This story begins 100 million years ago, from the formation of the limestone rock to the discovery of the Aven d'Orgnac in 1935, which today allows us to admire the gigantic underground chambers. It is also a human story, from the cutting of the flint that was being carved 350,000 years ago, and the transmission that continues at the Cité de la Préhistoire. Come and learn a little, dream a lot, and above all change of era, and this near the Ardèche campsite Les Truffières, open all year round!

The Aven Marzal

 

Discover the Aven Marzal, a cave explored in 1892 by E. A. Martel, the first French speleologist of world renown. He said of the cave that it is "grafted onto a vast cave, one of the most admirable we know from the point of view of concretions".

The Chauvet 2 cave or the Caverne du Pont d'Arc

 

December 18, 1994...

It was a Sunday. Equipped with lamps, Jean-Marie Chauvet, Éliette Brunel and Christian Hillaire decide to enter the narrow passage discovered a few months earlier. The trio crawled metre after metre. The progress is difficult. The three cavers got stuck several times before reaching the ceiling of a large gallery. This winter expedition will change the course of their lives.

Chauvet 2
Discover and explore the cave

 

The Forest Cave is a cave secured by barriers and a floor that prevents slipping. Only one path, with no way to get lost. Original Crystallizations Give The Sense Of Being Under The Sea While Tree Roots Remind Us That We Are At The Center Of The Earth. This is the only cave in France with such roots and crystals. The Concept Of Visit Remains Unique In Europe.

 

The cave can be visited safely without a guide and without a reservation, with powerful lamps provided for everyone, while reading the many explanatory panels.
