Very nice tour - Very nice tour. Bring warm clothes, the temperature drops down to 4 degrees. We crossed paths with several families who went through the cave in a hurry due to inadequate clothing, and it's a real shame because the cave offers several unique shapes, typical of karst, that deserve to be admired.

Delighted with this visit - Self-guided tour. We hadn't thought to download the audio guide; we were lent a folder with all the useful information. We used it at every numbered point of interest. We were very well received by the staff. This visit delighted us. It is impressive and truly beautiful. We took the time to look at everything in detail. You need to wear good shoes because the ground is damp and sometimes a bit slippery.

A very nice visit and experience - These caves are really impressive. They are huge, probably among the most beautiful I have ever visited. We chose to do the tour without a guide, and everything is so well organized that it is done very easily. The infrastructure is new, well thought out and pleasant along the way. It is a really nice place, which I recommend without hesitation.

An exceptional visit and a team at the top! - An absolutely incredible experience at the Caves of the Cerdon! The site is beautiful, the tour is super well organized and really immersive — we take plenty of eyes from start to finish 😍 A big bravo also to the guide, a great young man: very explanatory, clear and really pedagogue, he makes the visit even more exciting! A huge crush also for the lady of the snack: adorable, smiling and very professional, it is really nice to meet such welcoming people! We'll be back soon!

Worth a visit! - Nice to visit this cave. We did the Dutch audio tour. Once you arrive in the lower part of the cave, it is quite a climb back up! Definitely worth a visit!

A cave system to remember - If travelling on the A40 between Geneva and Lyon take a little detour to visit this attraction, We went mainly for the caves and what a fantastic couple of hours. The cave has many different formations, As the path drops down you come to a balcony atleast 100foot in the air which looks out onto the massive cavern, after desending you can either exit out or keep going down to enter the other cave tunnel which takes you to a look out platform in the middle of the cliff, coming back through the cavern to exit you see where you had first come from, Wow what a view.
