NICHE CAVE
Read moreSublime geological curiosity, this cave of the Jurassic era excavated in the limestone of Givet is one of the attractions of the region opened since 1896. The 9 open rooms allow you to observe many concrete events - animals or characters that come out of the rock - a rock suspended as by magic and a column of 3 million years! Many animal traces have been revealed: mammoth, aurochs and pheasant pheasants. It is also likely that they have received human occupation in prehistoric times. A rather magical place for children, it is recommended to cover well, since the temperature avoids the 9 ° C and put good shoes, to climb the stone staircase. From the Nutons Hall, we get to the Salle du Gouffre, where the first traces of human occupation are found, and then to the Lion Room, which owes its name to the form of a concrete, then to that of the Clair de Lune, the room of Lovers, where one distinguishes the silhouette of a couple.
