The abyss is classified as a major geological curiosity, the vertiginous descent leads to a river for a boat ride
Natural cavity of 33 meters in diameter and 75 meters deep, the Gouffre de Padirac is the first natural underground heritage site in France, it is considered as a major geological curiosity. The exploration begins with the descent of an Eiffel-inspired staircase totaling 207 steps out of the 543 that you will walk. After discovering the galleries that are only accessible on foot, a jetty allows you to take a seat in a boat, led by a guide-catcher, for an educational walk along the water. The show is grandiose!

Members' reviews on PADIRAC SINKHOLE
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Effectivement la température est constante à 13°, et comme dans de nombreuses grottes, le sol peut être humide, voire glissant. Il faut donc penser à se couvrir et porter des chaussures adaptées :-)
Au plaisir de vous recevoir de nouveau au Gouffre de Padirac !
Il vaut mieux réserver par internet avant de venir et en plus cela sert de coupe-file.
Malgré plusieurs visites, je ne m'en lasse pas.
