Clamouse cave, discovered in 1945, where you can admire stalagmite flows, aragonite crystals and coloured calcite flowers
The Clamouse cave, near Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, has a rich and varied history. Used as a watering place in prehistoric times and a grain mill in the Middle Ages, it was discovered by a caving club in 1945 and opened to the public in 1964. The cave's exceptional geological formations, such as stalagmites, aragonite crystals and calcite flowers, have earned Clamouse UNESCO World Heritage status. Since the discovery of the cave, preserving the environment and cultural heritage has been a priority. The company is committed to complying with legal requirements and improving its social, economic and environmental performance. Guided tours allow visitors to explore the underground treasures of Clamouse, with its organs, draperies, aragonites, fistulas and eccentrics. Various cave-dwelling animals, such as the protoea and the cave salamander, can also be observed. The SpéléoPark offers two routes for a more adventurous family experience: "L'émotion" (220 m) with geological explanations and "Le grand frisson" (470 m) with narrow passages and underground abysses. These courses are suitable for children aged 8 and over. The cave also offers an escape game lasting 1h30 to 2h. The cave welcomes school groups and offers customized tours, as well as facilities to improve accessibility for all, including sensory tours.
