Padirac Chasm

Just 20 minutes from Domaine Les Falaises, Gouffre de Padirac is one of the most impressive natural wonders in France, and certainly a must-see during your visit to the Lot. This exceptional site, discovered in 1889 by the explorer Édouard-Alfred Martel, invites you to dive into the bowels of the Earth for a fascinating adventure.

Upon arrival, you will be amazed by the immense natural cavity of 35 meters in diameter that suddenly opens up before you. Descend more than 100 meters underground to discover a breathtaking underground world. A boat ride on an underground river takes you through a network of mysterious galleries, decorated with stalactites and stalagmites of astonishing shapes and colors. The highlight of the visit is undoubtedly the Salle du Grand Dôme, where the vault reaches 94 meters in height, creating a striking natural spectacle.

The Gouffre de Padirac is much more than just a geological site; it is a true sensory experience that captivates young and old alike. The coolness of the galleries, the lapping of the water and the play of light that reveals the smallest details of this natural architecture make each visit an unforgettable adventure.
