Gouffre de Proumeyssac, Le Bugue
Light & sound displays in this huge cathedral of crystals
The largest cave in the Périgord region, close to the pretty and tranquil town of Le Bugue. Proumeyssac has a vast subterranean grotto reaching 40 metres in height.
Filled with impressive crystal formations, it has been spectacularly lit and visitors are treated to a light and sound show. It is possible to descend into the cave using the old-fashioned horse-drawn basket which was used before the tunnel entrance was created. Audio guides are available in several languages, including English, german, Spanish, Italian and Japanese.
Outside the cave there are also plenty of children's activities, such as a playpark, picnic areas, water features and animal park.
When to come
The cave is open all year, except for the month of January. Times vary throughout the year so please contact them directly or check the website before you visit to confirm when they are open.
