    Hiking

    Édouard-Alfred Martel, founding father of modern speleology, indicated that “no known cave in the world has anything similar”.

    Indeed, the Aven Armand is an underground spectacle! Cave among caves, it records not far from 400 stalagmites which make up a real forest of stones 15 to 30 meters high.

    Open during high season, entry is chargeable. You can treat yourself to a guided tour that will give you many anecdotes about its crazy discovery and its rich constitution.

    Hiking

    A great day!
    60km in total! With 3 nice breaks on the Causse Mejean.
    Visit of the Aven Armand cave. Then the old Caussenarde farm and tasting of organic sheep's milk ice cream before starting the descent to Sainte Enimie.

    Hiking

    In the heart of the Méjean limestone plateau, near Meyrueis, in the municipality of Hures-la-Parade, there is the Aven Armand cave, discovered in 1897 by Louis Armand, Martel's first officer. The cave contains a forest of more than 400 stalagmites in its huge underground hall. This remarkable overall picture also includes the outstanding Great Stalagmite, which at 30 meters is the tallest stalagmite in the world known today.
