Set of caves, the was discovered in 1547, with stalactites and stalagmites, a reconstruction like a Jurassic Park.
Less than 15 minutes from Tours and 5 minutes from Villandry castle, these caves were discovered by Bernard Palissy in 1547. You will discover stalactites, stalagmites and other petrifying waterfalls that have been formed for millions of years and that offer a strange curiosity of nature. In the second cave, there is a reconstruction of the prehistoric fauna of the primary and secondary eras, for an atmosphere of Jurassic Park in the Touraine. Remember to cover up, as it is only 14°C inside the cave.

Toutefois visite accélérée pressée par un guide plutôt autoritaire. Peu de temps pour profiter des lieux et prendre des photos. ça gâche malheureusement l'expérience. Je pense que cela est dû à un trop gros groupe de visiteurs.
La surprise est la dégustation de vin local ???? très bon et vraiment sympa.
A refaire en basse saison, le guide sera sûrement plus abordable et moins pressé.
En revanche dommage que les prix ne soient pas à jour sur le site, ce qui occasionne une petite surprise sur place (7,5€ l’entrée et non 5€).
