The Proumeyssac Abyss: A unique cavity classified as a Grand Site of France
Just 2 hours from Bordeaux, heading towards the Dordogne, you can visit the Proumeyssac Abyss. Dubbed the "Crystal Cathedral", Proumeyssac is now the largest developed cavity in the Périgord region. This natural wonder was discovered in 1907 and opened to the public in 1908, sculpted by seepage over 15 million years.
Among the most popular attractions in the region, it offers a fascinating journey into the depths of the Earth thanks to the multitude of triangular concretions, stalactites, and stalagmites that adorn its walls.

The classic one-hour tour is conducted by a guide and allows you to explore the draperies, eccentric formations, stalactites, and other gours that make this natural gem a fascinating cavity. It is accompanied by a beautiful lighting system, enhanced by musical accompaniment to complete the uniqueness of the visit.
