Message from Management
Located in the commune of Audrix, the Gouffre de Proumeyssac is a natural site well worth a visit. Dubbed the "Crystal Cathedral", this impressive natural space was discovered in 1907 and is 50 metres deep. Considered to be the largest developed cavity in the Périgord, it is adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. State-of-the-art lighting and musical ambience add even more charm to this underground masterpiece. A visit, guided by experts, is sure to leave a lasting impression. You'll also marvel at the history of the site. For an even more original experience and a more spectacular view, take a trip down in a gondola. Fun tours led by Professor Géopole are also available. Not to be missed!

prix un peu élevé tout de même.....
La première fois, j'ai emprunté le chemin classique et c'était déjà impressionnant tant les dimensions de ce gouffre sont gigantesques.
La seconde fois, nous avons opté pour la visite en nacelle qui a pour avantage de donner un aperçu de ce qu'à été la découverte de ce gouffre (mais rassurez-vous, contrairement aux découvreur, vous ne descendrez pas dans un tonneau à la lueur d'une bougie sur un tas d'ossements !)
Dans les deux cas, nous avons eu des guides passionnés qui ont très bien su nous transmettre leurs connaissance par un savant équilibre entre anecdotes et faits scientifiques et historiques.
