Un chef d’oeuvre de la nature qui dépasse la description et les mots, et place l’Aven Armand parmi les plus belles grottes au monde. Haut lieu du tourisme en Occitanie, cette grotte des Cévennes est un des sites les plus visités en Lozère.
Chacun selon ses impressions personnelles, avec une sensation indéfinissable « en ressortira comme dans un rêve ».

A must-see in the area. Worth the effort. Tour only in French so not for everyone to follow.

Great experience! We made the visit early in the morning with the descent attached to a rope by the chimney, 80 meters... with our feet in the void, the entrance to the large room from the top is sensational. Once inside, we made the visit partly with the front, then with the lights that highlight the stalagmites, an incredible decor! Once the guided tour is over, we go back up by the funicular. The welcome and the guides are super friendly, with coffee and cake on the spit (which looks like stalagmites!!) offered at the end of the visit. I really recommend!plus

Nice descent by funicular and the suspense remains intact when you find yourself facing a huge closed door. On the... other hand, what a sight when the door opens onto this immense cavity! The cave is huge and we completely overlook it. With the different light effects it's magnificent 😍 then the guided tour begins and we go down to the bottom to then wind through the forest of stalagmites and gradually go up to the funicular.plus

Magnificent cave (chasm). We go down to -110m thanks to a funicular, and there, it's off for 1 hour of guided tour in... the middle of stalagmites, each more beautiful than the other and cool. We took full eyes. We did this with a 2 year old. I recommend buying tickets online to avoid waiting time, especially in summer and to plan a polar.plus

An exceptional cave. Difficult to convey how beautiful it is. The sloping railway takes you down to an area near the... top of the cave. The tour requires you to walk on sloping and stepped paths to the floor of the cave and then back up to the train which returns you to the surface. Given it is cool in the cave, this isn't arduous for reasonably fit, mobile people, but for the elderly or infirm, the climb back up the steps - 2x a normal house stairs? - could be a challenge. The lighting is subtle and does highlight the stalactites and stalagmites along with all of the other deposited shapes. The sheer size of the cave is breathtaking and it takes a moment to comprehend what you are seeing as people on the floor of the cave look like small models. The guide speaks only french, written guides are available in other languages. The tour is slow with lots of stops where the guide explains what you are seeing. We don't speak French and didn't opt for a written guide, just looking was enough. This is the first time that I have seen stalactites that have small rim-pools on their sides and these make the stalactites seem almost plant like. There are places where the stalactites and stalagmites have joined and formed columns. There are also plenty of translucent curtain forms and lines of stalactites hanging from the roof. There is a wall that is covered with calcium forms that look like trees and animals. My words do a poor job of describing what you'll see if you visit. It really is worth seeing.There are displays and a video explaining the discovery and history of the cave in a large visitor and ticket centre and there are people here that speak English, but I'm not sure what other languages they have. There is also a restaurant that serves meals and snacks along with lots of different drinks. The car park is large and I would expect this place is very busy in high season so book tickets on line to ensure you don't have a wasted visit. It is not a place that would be suitable for wheel chair users as a lot of the cave is accessed by stairs.If you like a good cave, have an interest in geology or the natural world, then this is for you. The cave more than justifies the ticket price.plus

Cool stalagmite formations underground but around 12° Celsius so bring a hoodie.

Fantastic cave worth visiting. For the international visitor, it needs earphones where guided tour is translated.
