Gouffre de Padirac Underground Cave System in France
Gouffre de Padirac Underground Cave System in France
Travelling around the South West of France and you could come across the Gouffre de Padirac.  The Padirac caves are amazing with visitors descending 75m  before entering the cave which is at a depth of 103 m and a river system that is about 19km long.  Take a boat trip along the subterranean system.  Reasonably priced and so worth the visit.  A short drive after your visit and a stop in a local village for soup du jour en vin rouge and, what a day!   #travel #traveltheworld #nature #caves #parks
The impressive descend into the subterranean river and cave system at Padirac.

The visit lasts 1.5h and is done partly by boat and partly walking. I strongly advice you to buy your tickets a few weeks in advance through the Internet. Lines at the entrance to buy same day tickets can take hours!
Magic place!

8/10 Very Good! (130 reviews)
Great hotel with super friendly staff. If I wasn’t on a tight schedule, I’d definitely stay here longer just to recharge and have a quiet recharge time.
