    Beautiful path along La Furon with the entrance of the grotto - Cuves de Sassenage. The cave is the lower exit of the 50-60s known as the deepest cave in the world - Gouffre Berger ... At that time as the first minus 1000 meters deep cave.

      The Cuves are very easy to access. You can park near the chateau de sassenage. The route is very well signposted, the start is via stairs carved into the rock. After entering the cave, continue on the right bank of the Furon to the waterfall. A footbridge makes it possible to cross the Furon and to return by the left bank of the Furon and thus to make a loop.
      It's a family outing, which doesn't require any special skills, you just need a good pair of shoes.

        The path of the vats is a very easy hike, the Furon at one point plunges under the rock. Spectacular
