Grotte de
LASTOURNELLE

These limestone caves have developed and building up a host of stalactites, stalagmites and limestone tapestries of an incomparable richness.

The Lastournelle Cave was discovered in 1878 when a well was drilled. Farmers living on that property dug down in an attempt to find a water source . They didn’t find water, but instead discovered the cave.
