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.

Nous sommes très satisfaits de notre visite, ce site est riche et mériterait d’être plus connu, de véritables trésors se cachent dans la pierre. Par contre, patron pas très sympathique (c’est bien peu de chose à côté de la beauté du lieu).

Bonne visite, l'histoire du site est fascinante.
En revanche la guide récite un texte telle un robot, très dommage
