We meet on the car park of the cemetery of Saint-Etienne de Fontbellon, in front of the Leclerc hypermarket. After picking up your equipment and receiving the usual briefing on safety instructions, you walk towards the entrance of the cave (5min).
- Tour:
For 2 hours, you will discover the mysteries of the underworld, along a path following an underground river. The exploration begins with a passage of about twenty meters where you will use your hands and knees before progressing horizontally. Geological treasures will then be offered to you: stalactites, stalagmites, syphon... and who knows what else?

Once out of the cave, a 5-minute walk awaits you to get back to your vehicle.
