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.

Un phénomène découvert
Nous n'avons aucune connaissance de ce phénomène de pétrification dans les grottes, c'est assez impressionnant.
La visite est intéressante malgré son prix un peu élevé..

Les Grottes Pétrifiantes de Savonnières sont situées à la sortie de la ville, en direction de Villandry. On retrouve deux grottes qui sont assez uniques, car on y réalise de l'art décoratif grâce au calcaire présent dans l'eau. La visite guidée est instructive et intéressante. Attention à être bien équipé, avec de bonnes chaussures car le sol est souvent mouillé et glissant et la température n'est pas très élevée par rapport à l'extérieur surtout en été.

A super walk nice for large and small where you would think you were in a salt mine.
For if you are in the region.
