Visit one of France's most beautiful caves on an easy tour. With an inside temperature of 14°C, we advise you to bring warm clothing. The return journey takes a small train through the natural site.
Guided and commented along a secure path lasting around an hour, the Cocalière underground tour is accessible to all ages. The temperature here is constant, at around 14 degrees, and you'll discover a living cave, i.e. one that's still forming.
As well as the usual calcite concretions, stalagmites and stalactites in a variety of shapes and sizes (including massifs and columns), you can admire discs along the way - circular concretions that defy the laws of gravity. Those at La Cocalière are among the most beautiful and unusual, from the fine draperies (or calcite galons) to the semi-transparent growth streaks suspended from the vault, not forgetting the eccentric budding crystals and the long, slender fistulas or macaroni.
All these geological curiosities are most often mirrored in the limpid or bluish water of the gours or natural basins with their scalloped calcite edges. The Salle des Gours, with its staggered staircases, is an outstanding example. As you pass by, a pearl in a cavern in formation will catch your eye, all the more so as it is a visually rare natural phenomenon.
Near the exit, you'll see a representation of a prehistoric excavation site, showing objects and bones from the Neolithic and Bronze Age. From here, a little train will take you back to the reception area via a path through the garrigue.
Sentier Découverte - The 35-minute walk takes you along a shady path, partially accessible to baby carriages. Access is free.
INSOLITE
A night for two in the heart of the Grotto, 50 meters underground; in a magical environment of sparkling stalactites
precious calcite crystals and concretions.
In a vast room, a transparent pyramid 3.50 meters high
of 25m2 will welcome thrill-seekers for a night
for a night under a vault studded with natural wonders.
In the warmth of the pyramid, you'll be able to sleep comfortably in a specially designed space, and enjoy an exceptional panoramic view.
