Tourtoirac Cave

The Perigord geological gem
The lift takes us to 25m under the ground to immerge ourselves in a dream world. Following the underground river, we discover the multitude and diversity of concretions, with an innovative staging that is respectful of nature.
During the visit, we learn about the tragedy of the discovery, by an exceptional potholer. Then, we also learn about the formation of the cavity for millennia, the water digging the rock to form this enchanting landscape.
The Tourtoirac cave, the most recent cave open to the public, is accessible to everyone, and it offers visits with multilingual guides or visits that are translated by audioguides provided with a magnetic loop and audio description.
