Located in the heart of the Dordogne region in southern France, the Grotte de Padirac is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting this beautiful country. This stunning cave system, known as the "Chasm of Padirac", was first discovered in 1889 and has since become a popular tourist destination, attracting over 400,000 visitors each year. The Grotte de Padirac offers an unforgettable experience, taking visitors on a journey deep underground to explore its vast chambers and majestic rock formations.
The Grotte de Padirac is a natural wonder that is truly breathtaking. Visitors can embark on a 2km journey through the cave, starting with a descent down 75m via an elevator or stairs. Once inside, you can take a boat ride along the underground river, which leads you to the Grand Dome, a stunning 94m high cavern with a natural opening that allows sunlight to filter in, creating a magical atmosphere. The tour also includes a visit to the Great Stalactite, an impressive 60m high formation that resembles a waterfall frozen in time.
For those looking to explore the Dordogne region and the Grotte de Padirac on their own terms, car and minibus rental options are available in the surrounding area. This gives visitors the freedom to discover the other charming towns and villages in the region, such as Rocamadour and Sarlat.
