Hiking

The Baume-les-Messieurs cave was first explored by Paul Vernier in 1610, but he only explored the first quarter of the cave. It wasn't until more than two centuries later, in 1893, that exploration resumed, thanks in part to the French speleologist Alfred Martel (who discovered the Gouffre de Padirac). The first guided tours took place at the beginning of the 20th century, around 1903.

Hiking

Grottes des Baumes is an active water cave where the front part was expanded as a show cave. Here you can see beautiful stalactite jewelry alternating with washed out passages.

Attention: the caves cost entrance. Prices see photo. Unfortunately we did not have enough money 🥴
Annoying, if you stand directly in front of it.
