The Grotte Cosquer, a treasure trove of humanity sunk thousands of years ago, is now restored in the Villa Méditerranée.
The Cosquer cave, discovered by diver Henri Cosquer in the depths of the Mediterranean, is now open to visitors in a dedicated area. Entirely replicated in its original form, the visit takes place in an exploration module: plunge with your family into the bowels of humanity and admire drawings, engravings, paintings, handprints and other stalagmites and stalactites dating back 30,000 years to the present day. An audioguide accompanies your visit with scientifically rigorous commentary, including a child-friendly version.

Members' reviews on COSQUER MÉDITERRANÉE
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
I went on this ride with my pregnant spouse. When she started feeling faint, I waved my arms to the ceiling and yelled to gain their attention, but the ride continued on and we received no response. We yelled to get their attention twice. After a few minutes passed, we proceeded to squeeze out of the locked bars, jump out of the moving module and walk together to the beginning of the ride, carefully dodging any oncoming passengers.
Before anyone blames us for going on this ride, I received assurance from the ticket receptionist that this is safe for a pregnant woman. It is actually a rather calm ride and not too deep underground, but emergencies can always happen and require careful monitoring. As I told the man who claimed to be the supervisor (I am not sure that he was): what if a passenger has a heart attack? Or a stroke? It would be harder for them to gain attention than it was for us.
We left so disgusted that we didn't bother requesting a refund.
I am happy to speak with management, if they care to reach out to me to learn more. I would be happy to provide quality improvement suggestions.
