Aven Armand Cave

Unique in the world, l’Aven ARMAND was discovered on the Causse Méjean in 1897 by Louis Armand, Armand Viré and Edouard-Alfred Martel, father of French speleology. You will be welcomed at the speleogare, an atypical station in the heart of the Causse Méjean which will allow you to leave for an underground trip for 1 hour. After a funicular descent, allowing the easiest access, let yourself be guided in the heart of a 20 million years old white forest, of alabaster and crystal, unique in the world. An exceptional universe for this white forest of more than 400 stalagmites which reveals its secrets to you.

The vocation of E-A Martel was strongly inspired by Jules Verne. 150 years ago, Jules Verne wrote “Voyage to the Center of the Earth”, inventing an underground world filled with fabulous animals, giant plants and surrounded by magic crystals … This great visionary had imagined a world that already existed under our feet! It was natural to pay tribute to him by staging it in sound and light more than 100 meters underground.

Magic, Poetry, Dream will be there during your visit to Aven Armand.
