Gouffre de Padirac caves Recommended Recommended : Michelin's recommendations

First explored by Édouard-A. Martel in 1890, these caves consist of a 22km network of galleries and underground rivers located beneath the Causse de Gramat limestone plateau. The Galerie de la Source just after the chasm leads to the Rivière Plane, a kind of underground Venice that continues as far as a giant stalactite over the Lac de la Pluie, the Grande Pendeloque. The tour continues through the Pas du Crocodile, the Salle des Grands Gours, past the Lac Supérieur and into the Salle du Grand Dôme.
