Top 6 Caves 피레네-오리엔탈레스

A pearl of a gorge, wonderful to swim in the lake or enjoy the surrounding rocks and beautiful colours.

Especially the chapel in the Hermitage, a cave, is very impressive.

From the viewpoint you can see halfway the gorges, against the rock face, the hermitage of Saint-Antoine-de-Galamus. The hermitage is easily accessible on foot from various parking areas.

It is a good idea to combine this cave with a visit to Villefranche de Conflent and Fort Liberia... If you get a little hungry, we can only recommend the bakery with its sandwiches in Villefranche.. Baguette with cheese/ham 3.90€ very tasty😋

A beautiful cave that we have already visited for the second time... Good shoes, a jacket and long trousers are recommended... There are a few steps in the cave... In my opinion it is not possible with a wheelchair or walker... In the large hall you can sit down and follow the illuminations... The first time we listened to Pavarotti with Caruso🤩👍🏻... This year there was a different, colorful production...

"Clinging" to the rocks, very unstable 😉 Since the path goes through it, you can't do a circular walk outside of opening hours. From the larger parking lot to the south, you can at least get to the entrance in the evening, with views into the gorge. From the north, the path ends at the end of the tunnel...

Leave your bike and walk a short way to look up the gorge

The Hermitage Saint-Antoine is a large natural basilica built from trees and rocks and above all brought to life by the sound of water and the song of birds. You will find many works of art there (frescoes, stained glass windows). Access to the site, the tower, and the museum is free.
