Visit the Aven d'Orgnac cave during your camping holiday
The Aven d'Orgnac site was discovered in 1935.
At a depth of one hundred and twenty metres, the underground space is one of the largest caves in the world. You descend by stairs and discover several rooms and many different forms of crystallization. For those who are interested, there are caving tours (lasting 3 to 8 hours) accompanied by a professional guide to discover the cave and its secrets.
The Museum of Prehistory presents the riches of the Ardèche. Outside, green spaces and paths have been laid out for visitors to relax.
Since 2004, the cave has been awarded the Grand Site de France label, which attests to the site's commitment to sustainable development and respect for the environment.
The Aven d'Orgnac cave can only be visited with a guide (guided tour of about 1 hour) and the Cité de la Préhistoire is open to the public.
