A picturesque cave monastery, the likes of which are not found anywhere else in these latitudes.

Simply beautiful to look at and a great building that has stood for centuries

Unique place and unique nature reserve

An interesting visit in a simple and pleasant landscape. The view from the top of the site extends into the distance over the Rhône. The very well-signposted route is enhanced by a flyer giving all the necessary explanations for a good understanding of this walk. Note, however, the lack of signage to find the site (no information sign before arriving at the access path). Other negative points: no toilets or water point. But a large parking lot. However, these small drawbacks should not prevent you from discovering this very curious construction dug into shell sandstone.

very beautiful view with ford at the bottom of the conclusions, route without major difficulty, parking nearby

Access is only available during certain periods of the year, due to the conservation of the small inhabitants that inhabit the area. The cave is open from August 16th to November 14th, and from March 16th to April 30th. Bring a good flashlight, as the crossing can take approximately 5 to 10 minutes. This cave is nothing more than the former underground passage of the Gardon River. Accessible to all, be careful, however, once you have crossed, you will be close to the cliff on the other side. The path beyond (T2/T3) can be daunting for some people. Don't hesitate to turn back if you have any hesitation.

only for the hard-core

The Cèze has dug channels and hollows in the landscape that converge and form cracks in which the river flows. Great to see.
