Avec un dernière troncon de visite atypique
Beaucoup d'escalier à monter, mais quand il y a pas trop de monde, il ne faut pas hésiter à prendre son temps. Nous avons visité les grottes avec une petite de moins de 3 ans, et ça c'est bien passé, même si à la fin elle avait un peu marre des escaliers. Les labyrinthes sont étroits, mais ils ne sont pas obligatoires à faire.
