The Thouzon cave is a jewel, a geologic work of art created by water, limestone and millions of years.

The cave was discovered in 1902 by workers of the quarry. It goes long under the Thouzon's hill.

Countless stalactites and stalagmites of all sizes, sometimes surprisingly thin, decorate the ceiling and the walls of the cave.

To go into the underground world is always a source of entchantment. The Thouzon cave is perfectly suitable for children.

The visit lasts about 45 minutes, with a guide who makes us discover the cave beauties and explains in a very pedagogical way. Thge Thouzon's cave is the only one cave fitted for visitors in Provence.
