Between Pont-en-Royans and Villard de Lans, at the heart of the Gorges de la Bourne, enter a magical universe and discover an underground world with emerald and crystalline reflections, where the tunnels light up to the rhythm of your steps!
La Grotte, an iconic tourist attraction in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region for 2022–2028, is home to many wonders and invites you to stroll along two underground rivers, discovering the fistulous stalactites—true calcite straws—found by the thousands in the cave: a spectacle unique in Europe! During your visit, you’ll also encounter proteus, these astonishing cave-dwelling creatures... Finally, the gigantic Salle de la Cathédrale will light up at the end of each tour, treating you to the new
immersive “Sound and Light” show—vibrant and full of emotion! Follow the guide!
