Imagine you\u2019re an explorer… You do not need to be an expert caver – professional instructors will show you an effortless way to descend the 75 metres into the natural well. Join the first expedition alongside Louis Armand, Edouard-Alfred Martel and Armand Vir\u00e9, the inventor of biospeleology.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s huge! Superb! A real forest of stone. It\u2019s splendid, Mr. Martel, there are at least 100 columns. The tallest must be about 25 metres. I\u2019ve never seen anything like this!\u201d Those were the words exclaimed by Louis Armand after his 75-metre descent into the unexplored darkness of the Aven Armand, named after him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the most impressive chasm descents in France and the entire World.<\/h2>\n

The descent into the Aven Armand is open to everyone aged 12 years and up. You do not need to be an expert caver – professional instructors will show you an effortless way to descend the 75 metres into the natural well. You\u2019ll find yourself looking down on a forest of 400 stalagmites. Alone in the Aven Armand, you won\u2019t hear a sound other than the dripping of water…<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ text_font=”Barlow||||||||” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_text_color=”#ffffff” header_2_text_color=”#153961″ header_3_text_color=”#153961″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Once inside the cave, you will explore this Treasure of the Earth and Time by the light of your headlamps, gradually emerging from the darkness thanks to targeted lighting and the explanations of your guide.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For those who prefer not to make the historic descent down the natural shaft, it is possible to join the day\u2019s explorers at the bottom of the chasm on foot, via the funicular tunnel, and then continue the discovery together\u2014just like on that Sunday in September 1897\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After approximately 2 hours of exploration, you will return to the surface via the funicular, emerging \u201cas if in a dream,\u201d just as \u00c9douard-Alfred Martel<\/span><\/span> described. Your adventure continues at the Sp\u00e9l\u00e9o Caf\u00e9, where you will receive your Exploration Certificate.<\/p>\n
