Cave discovered by chance in 1902 during the exploitation of a quarry in La Thor

It is the visit to make during rainy or mistral days when you are with children! The cave was discovered by chance in 1902 during the quarry operation. It was nicknamed: "grotte des fées" (cave of fairies), undoubtedly for the enchantment that it exudes. It must be said that it has remained intact thanks to an immediate layout. So, be ready for a trip in a mineral world where the work of water left its mark. It is also, in Vaucluse, the only natural cave (13°) set up for tourism (horizontal gallery, easy access).

La grotte de Thouzon, encore appelée grotte aux Fées, est située sur la commune du Thor, dans le Vaucluse, au pied de la colline éponyme. Elle est surplombée par le château de Thouzon. C'est la seule caverne naturelle aménagée pour le tourisme dans le département du Vaucluse.

voici Un endroit unique dans le Vaucluse et parfait lors des grosses chaleurs. Le lieu est impressionnant, la visite dure 45mn avec un guide expérimenté. La grotte est parfaitement aménagé et la température y est de 13 degrés toute l'année. Sur place, il y a un parking aménagé, une boutique de souvenirs, un snack avec boissons fraîches et glaces. Bref, tout est parfait.
