Baumes-les-Messieurs Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Very nice photo motif. In summer, the tuff cascades are pretty crowded, but offer great cooling on hot days.

Grottes de Baumes — Waterfall and Cave

Highlight • Cave

The Baume-les-Messieurs cave was first explored by Paul Vernier in 1610, but he only explored the first quarter of the cave. It wasn't until more than two centuries later, in 1893, that exploration resumed, thanks in part to the French speleologist Alfred Martel (who discovered the Gouffre de Padirac). The first guided tours took place at the beginning of the 20th century, around 1903.
