VOLVIC STONE CAVE
The Grotte de la Pierre de Volvic invites you to discover a hollowed-out gallery, with a subterranean trail featuring light effects.
Since 2022, part of the scenography has been renewed, with new visual and technical effects. The installation of some fifteen additional spotlights provides more light, while smoke projectors make the discovery experience more immersive. As a result, since 2024, the Grotto has offered us a two-faceted experience: the historical tour and the Grotto of Lights are offered alternately throughout the year. The original historical tour lasts 1h15 and plunges you right into the heart of the gallery dug into a lava flow from the puy de la Nugère, mined for Volvic stone since the 13th century. Visitors follow a self-guided tour through five stages featuring videos, animated objects, light effects and sound narration, giving an insight into the world of quarry workers in the early 20th century. The Grotte des Lumières (Cave of Lights) is a moving narrative show that introduces visitors to an enchanted world, connecting the cave to the natural elements. Young and old alike follow the adventures of a little otter named Volvis, who wants to bring the cave back to life. In a plant and aquatic atmosphere, spectators are transported into a world filled with magic and legends. For the festive season, the old quarry is transformed into Santa's workshop, with stunning sets, visual and sound effects, and a CGI film.
