There is something magical about this place: the cliffs, the earth and the forest dominate us in all their splendour. However, man has left his imprint and traces of his passage here. We can imagine legendary cities sculpted in the rock… Our journey climaxes in the cave’s warren, a labyrinthic forest of rocks decorated with unimaginable crystal concretions… This journey will definitely leave its mark on you.

I visited the Grand Roc Cave with two children aged 6 and 7. We all loved the intimate feel of this small cave with its rock formations. It feels quite different to most of the caves and chasms of this type which are more often than not vast and imposing. Here, it is the thousands of tiny eccentrics and other curious formations which captured our imaginations. The guide told us their story and explained the secrets of their formation – absolutely fascinating!

It’s great fun explaining to children that the drops of water falling on their head do not come from stalactites made of ice but of stalactites made of calcite …
