Cavern features like draperies, waterfalls, and columns come to life at Gouffre geant de Cabrespine, one of the world's largest caves open to tourists. The crystallization in the cave is varied: calcite, aragonite, and a range of colored metal oxides exist here, some of which create the famous red rooms. Also admire the iron oxide-colored rooms of bright ocher with trays and disks hanging from the ceiling, as well as the underground river carved into blue marble.

Superbe gouffre, très beau et impressionnant! Mais la visite se fait en 15 minutes chrono! (sans guide, hors saison), pas grand chose à voir. Donc assez cher pour ce que c’est.. Et pas de restauration... more »

Great chasm, very beautiful and impressive! But the visit is done in 15 minutes flat! (without guide, off-season), not much to see. So quite expensive for what it is... And no restaurant on site.

L'effet à l'entrée est plutôt impressionnant cependant on se rend vite compte sur la visite va être très courte. On a passé autant de temps à se demander s'il y avait autre chose à voir que de profite... more »

The effect at the entrance is rather impressive however it is quickly on the visit will be very short. We spent as much time to wonder if there was something else to see to enjoy the cave. A shame when the admission price is around € 10. As an indication, we spent 45 minutes inside and really no hurry.

Espectacular cueva. Patrimonio de la unesco. 7 euros la entrada. La visita es corta, pero realmente merece la pena visitarla ya que impresiona.

Spectacular cave. Unesco heritage. 7 Euro entrance. The visit is short, but it really is worth visiting it since it is impressing.

De grot is overweldigend, dus zeker een bezoekje waard. Er is een grote hangbrug met op het einde een glazen stuk waar je je op kan wagen om in de diepte te kunnen kijken. Buiten de diepe grot is zijn er nog enkele locaties om te bezichtigen en je kan er verschillende soorten kristallen zien. Maar dit hebben we op andere plaatsen mooier gezien, dus je moet vooral voor de impressionante grootte gaan (de Eiffeltoren past in de grot). De rondleidingen zijn enkel met Franstalige gids, maar je kan vertalingen beluisteren op via interactieve toestellen. Je krijgt dan ook enkele lichtshows op muziek, maar dit zei mij weinig. Onze kindjes waren iets te klein en hadden daarom iets te veel schrik.

The cave is overwhelming, so well worth a visit. There is a large suspension bridge with at the end a glass piece where you can venture to in depth. Outside the deep cave is there are still some locations to visit and you can see different types of crystals. But this is what we have seen in other places more beautiful, so you should especially for the impressive size (the Eiffel Tower fits in the cave). The tours are only with French-speaking guide, but you can listen on translations via interactive devices. You'll get also some light shows on music, but this said me. Our children were slightly too small and therefore had a little too much fright.
