Top 20 Caves 부르고뉴 프랑슈콩테

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.

The Creux Percé is an inverted cone-shaped collapsed chasm approximately 60 m deep and with a circumference ranging from 35 to 25 m at the surface. This chasm is primarily known to speleologists. Exploration of this chasm and its lateral networks began in the 19th century. This site has long been a natural icehouse with a bottom that reaches sub-zero temperatures, even in summer. https://www.bourgogne-tourisme.com/ In May 2025, a special outing, supervised by the Dijon Speleo Club, will allow visitors to descend into this crater.

The source of the Loue River is announced by the rushing water even before you see it. It's impressive and magical to stand beneath the 150-meter-high cliffs and watch the river rush out of its cave.

Does anyone know if you can go in there with a dog?

Remember not to venture too far into the cave

The spring is simply gigantic and there aren't too many tourists - at least when we were there.

This highlight is located on the plateau under which the cave opening is located. It can be found via a dead-end path, but the view is a bit sobering.
