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!
