Book onlineThe Aven Armand is a true underground treasure, a unique cave in the heart of the Grands Causses, on the Causse Méjean in Lozère, within the Cévennes National Park. This natural masterpiece captivates with its beauty and immensity. From the moment you enter, you are transported into a magical world where every rock formation tells a story carved over thousands of years.
The visit begins with a smooth funicular ride, accessible to all, taking you more than 100 meters underground. There, a fascinating world opens up: a mineral treasure chest sculpted by nature into a true underground masterpiece.
Over 150 years ago, Jules Verne imagined his Journey to the Center of the Earth. Here, in the heart of the Cévennes National Park, on the Causse Méjean, that journey becomes reality.
Explore the mysterious Virgin Forest with its 400 stalagmites, unique worldwide, before discovering rock formations with evocative shapes: the Palm Tree, the Turkey, the Draperies, the Jellyfish, the Cauliflower, the Sheep… and of course, the tallest stalagmite known to date, rising an astonishing 30 meters high.
Guided by passionate experts, you dive into a world enhanced by lights, images, and sounds that blur the line between fiction and reality. Jules Verne revisits in his own way the extraordinary story of this chasm, while your guides share the tale of its discovery, reveal its geological secrets, and explain the essential role of water in shaping such enchanting scenery.
Discovered in 1897 by Louis Armand, Édouard-Alfred Martel and Armand Vire, this gem immediately inspired wonder. “It’s immense! Superb! Magnificent!” exclaimed Louis Armand. And Martel added: “I came out of it as if from a dream.”
