Breathtaking... Such is the experience at Aven d'Orgnac. Nature and culture complement each other. The Grotto - discovered 90 years ago, in 1935 - is spectacular, and the Cité de la Préhistoire - modern and fun - invites you to step back in time...
Want to take hight? This unconventional circuit in the air suspends you at 40 meters above the ground through an installation that is not detrimental to the classified site.
A complete discovery of the activity through this beautiful and varied cave: abseiling, rare narrow passages, pretty rooms, ascent by a via corda... A cave rich in natural and human history and emotion.
The cave holds many a hidden treasure but some are fragile and kept out of reach. Les Coulisses allows you to visit them, if you’re willing to make the effort. This beautiful tour is fun and accessible to all, although it’s a bit of a physical challenge!
