Learn more about Padirac

Descend into the spectacular Gouffre de Padirac cave system where boat rides glide through underground rivers beneath towering limestone formations. Nearby medieval villages like Rocamadour offer dramatic cliff-side architecture and religious sites that pilgrims have visited for centuries.

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
