Set of caves, the was discovered in 1547, with stalactites and stalagmites, a reconstruction like a Jurassic Park.
Less than 15 minutes from Tours and 5 minutes from Villandry castle, these caves were discovered by Bernard Palissy in 1547. You will discover stalactites, stalagmites and other petrifying waterfalls that have been formed for millions of years and that offer a strange curiosity of nature. In the second cave, there is a reconstruction of the prehistoric fauna of the primary and secondary eras, for an atmosphere of Jurassic Park in the Touraine. Remember to cover up, as it is only 14°C inside the cave.

Lors de la dégustation du sirop de gomme (miel et fleurs d'oranger), la guide m'a servi du liquide vaisselle dilué dans de l'eau. Honteux !! . Que faisait le liquide vaisselle dans de vraies bouteilles ? C'était une erreur d'une personne absente ce jour là.
Heureusement que j'avais de l'eau pour me rincer la bouche car j'en ai quand même bu une petite quantité. Je ne comprends toujours pas comment ça puisse arriver. J'aurais aimé un geste commercial, que l'on m'offre ce fameux sirop que je n'ai pas dégusté. J'ai à peine eu des excuses...... Faites attention lors de la dégustation.
