Grotte de la Cocalière: A Geological Treasure
The Grotte de la Cocalière, one of the most beautiful in France, is often called "the diamond cave" because of its brilliant crystalline concretions. Situated on the border between the Gard and Ardèche departments, this cave offers a journey through rooms filled with stalactites, stalagmites, draperies and columns. Visits are often punctuated by a short ride on the underground train, adding a touch of adventure to the experience.
Grotte de la Salamandre: Grandeur and Spectacle
The Grotte de la Salamandre, accessible and equipped for all audiences, is renowned for its spectacular great hall featuring a gigantic crystal ceiling. With visit options ranging from simple exploration to more advanced caving adventures, this cave attracts families and thrill-seekers alike. The highlight is the "Balcony of the Salamander", a suspended platform offering a breathtaking view of the cave's interior.
Abîme de Bramabiau : Le "Trou qui souffle"
The Abîme de Bramabiau is exceptional in that it is an abyss where the Bonheur stream disappears beneath a rocky chaos, only to reappear further on in the form of a waterfall. This site, known as the "Hole that Blows" due to the cold air currents emanating from its entrance, offers a visit that combines both natural beauty and historical richness, providing a fascinating insight into the geology and hydrology.
