Les Grottes Pétrifiantes

"Great trip.. a little commercialised but no hard sell on anything. Very informative tour and interesting, reference items coated in limestone sediment. Had a glass of complementary rosé wine. Entry was €7.50 which is value for money in my eyes. Very interesting gifts available"

"Truly unique experience - loved learning about this place, from the connection with the famous Villandry, to being a transit area for the resistance during WWII, to the artisanal objects made from the chemical reaction with the cave's calcite... you won't find a visit like this anywhere in the world. I recommend to visit after or before Villandry, as it will give more meaning to the castle's history (although this is a really great stop all on its own). Thanks also to our guide, who took the time to explain and answer questions - her passion for this place was obvious and made the visit all that much better."

"Very average I'd have to say compared to other limestone caves I've seen. There were some very nice draperies but the caves aren't huge and they're not in a particularly natural state. The caves seem a bit like it's just a factory for making limestone trinkets.. And I still don't entirely understand what the roman grave things are about? It's unclear if they were found on site or if someone has moved these artifacts to the location they're now in..?"

"Very interesting to see how the calcified objects are formed. Our guide Lucie was very helpful, enthusiastic and informative."

"Great place to visit when you are nearby. Has got a lot of history. The tour isn't long but we did enjoy it."
