Explore the impressive Cerdon Caves at your own pace with this ticket, granting you access to a fascinating underground world once inhabited in prehistoric times.

Why visit the Cerdon Caves?

Nestled in the green natural surroundings of Auvergne, just an hour away from cities like Lyon, Annecy, or Geneva, the renowned Cerdon Caves await. Uncover the intriguing history of these caves, once home to a local ancient settlement.

Your ticket grants access to the underground gallery housing these caves, renowned for their significant geological value. Shaped by the erosive forces of water and other elements during the early Quaternary glaciations, the Cerdon Caves offer a captivating journey through time.

Running along the bed of an ancient river, the underground gallery reveals captivating geological formations such as stalactites and stalagmites.

Following the estimated hour-and-a-half visit, step onto the cave terrace to enjoy a panoramic view of the Cerdon vineyards.
