A real enchantment of concretions with astonishing shapes, sublimated by the careful lighting that highlights impressive geological formations (stalagmites, stalactites, draperies, columns...). The rooms follow one another: naiads' pool, chandeliers room, fairy room, columns room etc. The richness of the shapes stimulates the imagination throughout the visit (1.5h). Try to find among these natural surprises the imitation of the big bell, the elephant or the virgin...
You will then go down the chasm, stopping at the Roman Cloister room to find the underground river.
