About 20 minutes from our villa was Grotte de Limousis. A lovely drive through vineyards, picturesque villages and high climbs we superb views led us to the Grotte.
The reception was also a well filled shop, a cafe and a wine shop. We were very surprised to only pay €10 each. Our tour started with a fairly steep, but well laid, path to the cave entrance.
Once inside our guide explained about that a bear first inhabited the cave, there were claw marks in the rock. For many years and still today wine is made in the cave in big clay vessels.
Our tour was 1km into the hillside with 7 rooms and 2 lakes. In the final chamber we were treated to a stunning sound and light show that really highlighted the stunning formations.
The whole cave was beautiful, the path was easy to follow and our guide very knowledgeable.
We retraced our steps back to the entrance and down the path to the reception where we enjoyed a glass of the cave wine, a superb day out.
