Entrance to the cave with guided tour is €10. The cave is not open on Saturdays.
They do not take reservations so you have to get there early to get one of the 78 tickets allowed per day.
The cave opens at 9:30 am. We got to the cave at 8:45 am on a Friday in late May and we were #40 & 41. We did not make it on the English tour but the French tour included some English. There are 6 tours daily with 13 people per tour. The tours last 45 minutes. We chose the 12:15 tour and had to return by 11:50 am. This gave us some time to see the nearby town. It was better than sitting at the entrance for an hour to get on an earlier tour.
You are not allowed to bring anything (including cameras and cell phones) inside the cave so leave it in your car. If you did bring something, there is a locked area to the left of the entrance to store your items. You will need a jacket, even if it's a hot day.
The cave is dark. The guide will light up areas to see the prehistoric drawings thought to be over 14,000 years old. There are more than 230 figures but you will see about 25 on the tour. I must admit that you will need some imagination.
No pictures are allowed inside the cave. This is a picture of the entrance. You might be able to see a horse in the lichen.
It's a 400 yard, slightly uphill walk to get from the ticket office to the entrance of the cave. You'll see wild orchids
and wild strawberries.
