No one's a clue what was going on. Need I say anything else. Couldn't book anything and it was all all the place. If you booked in advance may be better. But we didn't so....

Great zip wire fun to be had here along with a climbing course in the trees and kayaking

Excellent value for money and great fun.

Cool 😁👍

(Translated by Google) Great discovery, an afternoon filled with good humor, a super smiling and friendly duo to welcome us and guide us. A shaded park, endless zip lines, courses of several levels but ultimately with a little agility they are all doable from 11 to 44 years old as far as we are concerned 3h40 of fun !!!! At the top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 (Original) Belle découverte, une après midi rempli de bonne humeur, un binôme super souriant et sympathique pour nous accueillir et nous guider. Un parc ombragé, des tiroliennes à n'en plus finir, des parcours des plusieurs niveaux mais finalement avec un peu d'agilité ils sont tous faisable de 11 à 44 ans en ce qui nous concerne 3h40 de régalade !!!! Au top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

(Translated by Google) For my part, it was a very good experience; the courses are well-balanced. The zip line course over the Ariège River is fantastic. The staff is fantastic and open to technical questions. Please note that payment must be made in cash. (Original) Pour ma part très belle expérience, les parcours sont bien équilibrés. Le parcours tyrolienne au dessus de l’Ariège est top. Le personnel est génial, ouvert aux questions techniques. Attention il faut prévoir le paiement par espèces.

(Translated by Google) Incredible, 😍 a little haven of greenery, calm, kindness, and warmth. It feels good to settle down in a pretty, hidden spot by the river. You almost expect to see some mischievous fairies and elves appear. To discover, share, and preserve as a magical place of passage. Thank you (Original) Incroyable, 😍 petit écrin de verdure, de calme, de bienveillance et gentillesse. Il fait du bien de se poser dans un joli endroit caché en bord de rivière. On s'attendrait presque à voir surgir quelques fées et lutins espiègles . A découvrir, partager et garder comme lieu de passage magique. Merci

There's scaffolding up with works going on (it looks like wheelchair access works). So on arrival, we weren't sure if it was open, but it is !! We followed signs in the town centre for the castle-Parking, only to find ourselves going round in a circle 3 times !!! Luckily it's Easter Mon and not very busy, so we found a spot for the camper in the middle of the two main town roads. €12.50 each entry. Great castle, lots of steps once at the top. There's a long stone ramp up/down, or a lift - with several floors gor the museum. The castle itself has 'displays ' on throughout the day, blacksmith, stone mason, weapons, etc. Unfortunately very little information in English (but, of course, totally acceptable - we're in France !!!). It's a fair bit of walking - first up the the castle, and then once uo there. The towers are fabulous, but cares needed as people are going to pass up/down on spiral staircases. Loads to see in the museum - excellent value. Gift shop, toilets (no cafe). Hero exhibition upstairs is very interesting.

Great castle. Now . It is a steep old climb and your legs will be sore but it is well worth it. Going up the tower is a bit scary but well worth the view. There is so much to do here you would need a whole day to get it all done.

Perfect for stepping into a previous time in history and experiencing what life might have been like back when the castle was in its prime. It’s in amazing condition with different stalls and people explaining weapons, blacksmithing, stonework, and other interesting ideas. The demonstrations are all in French but you can ask questions in English if you want to further expand your knowledge. There’s a museum connected as well but we didn’t have time to explore that section. Give yourself ample time if you want to explore both the museum and the castle itself. A great place to bring kids or even as an adult if you enjoy history and medieval times. 🏰

Amazing day! Wish we had longer! We spent four hours with kids 4 and 5. They loved it! The guide at the armor and weapons stop was amazing!! We spent over an hour there. He even spoke pretty good English. Gift shop had good toys for the kids too.

This castle is definitely geared towards kids with weapons displays and artificial castle décor throughout. There isn’t a ton of high level historic information. The views are nice but there are a lot of steps / steep pathways. I guess I recommend coming in a cooler month than June 😎

Very well maintained medieval castle on top of a hill. It is quite a walk to get to the entrance and then an evening longer climb up cobblestones to the castle itself after the museum. The views however are breath taking. It was not as busy ai had feared it might be but it was baking hot so the climb to the top was tougher. 2 kids (13 & 9) and I managed the climb all the way to the top tower and the views were well worth the effort. This fitted in really well as a day trip along with the underground river at Labouiche.

Beautiful castle, I felt the live actors dressed in clothing from the time period made it a nice and immersive experience. The museum was filled with info and the staff was helpful, and spoke multiple languages (English, Spanish, and French of course).

A fantastic museum with no less than two concords. One, a test rig and development plane, one of the very firsts of course was open to visits and was very much like the Embraer E195-E2 with 2+2 configuration I arrived on when you see to cabin space. But the entrance door on the Concord was way lower. So many objects of interests and then there is the outside that houses many more planes. There is a container way of the main building with free lockers for stuff you don’t want to carry around. Don’t forget them, I did and had to go back. There is a restaurant on the premises and next door there is a huge plane collection from a charity with an interest ion assortment of planes. Not open on my visit but you can se many of the planes from the outside.

This aeroplane museum is the reason why we stop in Toulouse. We enjoyed a few hours of visit here to see the old concord super fast aeroplane and the aeroplane (only 6 in the world) to ship aeroplane parts.

Amazing exhibition of aircraft, with a strong focus on some of Airbus' icons. The Concorde and A380 still being configured for test flights gives a unique insight compared to other aviation museums. A fantastic way to spend a couple of hours!

A very good airplane museum with a ton of well presented information. The coolest part was being able to walk inside the Concorde to learn about it and also the A380

Great experience! A chance to take a look at Concorde and Airbus 380 from the inside. Amazing. Wasn’t crowded at all on a weekday.

Great museum for all ages. Lots of information about the history of the development of planes and their preparation for use, airport operations. You can go inside the Concord or Airbus 300. Worth a visit!

You can’t miss this place when you are in Toulouse which is the aeronautics capitAl of Europe! See the magnificent Airbus Guppy, the fastest passenger aircraft in the universe Concorde, the A380 and all the jet fighters. But Don’t forget to Reserve your visit into the Military A380, it is only by reservation. Have your ID ready for the Airbus visit, they do not accept driver’s license as an ID.

If you are into aircrafts then this is amazing, the history that was presented, the tour of the factories and the final assembly line was really cool to see. Our tour guide was great and answered all the questions very helpfully. Make sure you book the tickets at least a week ahead.

A very good guided tour. You are brought by bus around the Airbus Factories and told about the history of airbus. You can’t take pictures at certain points of the tour but nonetheless a great tour. I would definitely recommend going into the museum which has an A380 and also an A300 that you can board and see from the inside.

We recently joined the Let’s Visit Airbus tour in Toulouse as part of a family trip, mainly for our son who is a big aviation enthusiast. While the experience had its highlights, there were also a few disappointments that affected the overall visit. ✅ Positives: Excellent Guide: The tour guide was friendly, very knowledgeable, and kept the group engaged with interesting facts and interactive questions throughout the visit. Definitely a highlight of the experience! Aviation Enthusiast Environment: It was great to be part of a group of fellow aviation fans. The enthusiasm and participation from the group added to the experience. Souvenir Discount: If you take part in any Let’s Visit Airbus tour, you get a 10% discount at the souvenir shop inside the Aeroscopia Museum. Fair Refund Policy: We had unknowingly booked two similar Airbus tours on different days. The team was understanding and refunded the cost of one, much appreciated. ⚠️ Improvements Needed: Factory Shutdown Not Communicated: Unfortunately, the visit took place during a factory shutdown, and we weren’t informed in advance. There were no workers or active assembly lines - we could only view stationary equipment from behind a glass cabin, which was disappointing. Uncomfortable Transport Conditions: The bus that took us from the museum to the factory had poor air conditioning - a real issue given it was around 40°C that day. One co-passenger even experienced dizziness and refused to return by bus. Thankfully, the team arranged a car for them. Limited Visual Experience: Without any live production happening, the tour felt more like viewing a display than visiting a working factory. If it had been a working day, we would have rated this 4 stars.

This was a very disappointing visit. I was told that we could see the plane's assembly lines. We did not see much as we were inside and enclosed room and the only plane was more than 100 meters away. It seems that the visit was changed as I had good comments from a friend. I tried to have a conversation with the front desk at the museum. Obviously the person who I spoke with did not care about it. He told me that the visit was going to be changed soon without more explanations. Unless there are changes I would not recommend this tour.

The visit is conducted in a bus and you get to see the Airbus factory from a distance, you don't get to take photos or pose for any photos, essentially you don't get to see much. But you get a guide for the group and the person who accompanied our English speaking group was amazing. He could answer all questions related to Airbus including engineering, material science and aircraft economics. I was really impressed by our guide. I would recommend the tour for the Airbus representative alone.

We visited the A350 Production Facility which we found very disappointing. Most of the tour was on a bus with a guide telling you about Airbus; no slides or videos were supplied to help your understanding. When we got to the production facility, she pointed at areas or planes that were over 1000 meters away. You could not really see anything. The only time we got off the bus was at the assembly building but same story, were too far away to see anything; it looked like videos were available but none were utilized. Would very strongly not waste your time with this tour.

The tour was a let-down. While the guide was friendly and well-informed, the tour itself was disappointing. You sit on the bus most of the time except for a short stop at a 350 construction site where you are not allowed to enter the site but watch the planes from a distance through glass windows on the second floor - during lunch-time (!) so the hall was empty! They charge you 24€ per ticket, which is a rip-off, to put it bluntly. If you do book the tour don’t take the one at11:15 am unless you’d like to see empty halls…

Very modern and with confortable seats. Screens also are much better with sharper pictures than the average cinema. However, films are too often dubbed into French. I much prefer the Original version with subtitles.

Very nice modern cinema. Seats are large and confortable, screens are great and some movies in original version with subtitles.

Many films on offer including original versions.

Cool

The cinema was good.

Comfortable and great movies items

The cave is a geological oddity with rivulets and roads cutting through it. You can walk around and see the surrounding area. To visit the museum(the cave), I recommend you make a reservation online in advance. Also, the ticket includes the other museums in the village. You can come and have a picnic. There are free parking spaces and one small restaurant next to the cave that you can get a drink/food before or after visit the cave.

Very nice guided tour for about an hour through the caves all in French all about the excavations and findings of prehistoric bones and artifacts found when digging the road passing through the cave. No pictures allowed during the guided tour. Well worth visiting. Set times for visits.

One of the most iconic caves of South Western France. Huge, very well conserved, easy of access and open all year round. The entrance fee of 11€ for a guided tour is worth for discovering in depth archeological sites within the cave. I'd advise traveling across the cave by car - jaw dropping.

It was an overwhelming experience to drive through this tunnel. Stop and take photos at both ends. Worth the extra drive!

A huge cave going right through the hillside. Big enough for a road to use it as a tunnel alongside the river. There is a small car park at the end and then you can walk into the cave and towards the museum. The surrounding countryside is very pretty with lots of hiking available. Alas we didn’t have time so I can’t comment on the museum or the surroundings in detail. But the cave is cool!

Very cool cave with a small road running through the biggest part next to a stream. A snack stand is nearby. If you pay, there’s a tour of the smaller parts of the cave with good interesting information on prehistoric life in the region.

They Only do the tour in French and not much to see there because it has been mined since Neolithic man has been there.

A bittersweet experience. While it was interesting to see so many animals up close, it was heartbreaking to witness a tiger vomiting and another in visible distress. It made me question the ethics of keeping these wild creatures in enclosures. Zoos may claim to focus on conservation and education, but nothing compares to seeing these animals in their natural habitat, where they truly belong. Places like Nairobi National Park offer the chance to observe wildlife freely roaming, creating a much more meaningful and respectful experience. While I enjoyed parts of the visit, it only reinforced my belief that animals should be in the wild, not behind bars.

Most important they have 3 types of shows 1.Tiger show 2. Bird show 3. Water show So check timings and visit accordingly to get most of it. It is not a very big but enough to spend half day with kids and family. Well maintained. There are 2 parts here : 1. Do safari (you can do with your own car) - approx time taken 30 minutes 2. Zoo part you do walking and take your time we took approx 3.5 hours including our lunch. You have restaurant there and nice sitting area if you carry your own food. Overall nice day out and I have seen so many new animals :)

Relatively small zoo - you'll be here for a max of 3 hours. Very quiet mid week on opening which was nice. Enclosures feel small, particularly for the bigger animals. Good variety of animals.

Nice zoo, not too big but enough to be entertained well for at least four hours. The park itself has lots of shade so it also good for warmer days. The enclosures are looking well designed and maintained en are pretty big in most cases. A definite recommendation in the region!

Visiting the Zoo African Safari in Toulouse was an incredible experience! The zoo is beautifully maintained and offers a perfect balance between fun and education. The variety of animals is impressive – from lions and giraffes to zebras and rhinos – all living in spacious enclosures that respect their natural environment. I highly recommend the Zoo African Safari to anyone visiting Toulouse or nearby. It’s a fantastic outing for families, couples, or even solo travelers who want to enjoy nature, learn more about wildlife, and spend a memorable day outdoors.

A little expensive in my opinion but was cool. The safari was great but as the temperature was pretty hot all the animals were packed under the trees and hard to see. You shall plan in advance how you want to visit the park as the two show are scheduled either in the morning 11am and 12pm or in the middle of the afternoon at 3pm meaning that you need to find what to do if you arrive at 11h30 am. There is a little park for the kid but the tube is completely exposed to the sun and in aluminium so unusable in short. The park is mostly designed for kids around 5 and higher. Positives points there's some sprinkling water point to relieve from the hot and most of the zoo is under the shadow of the trees 😉👌🏻

Wonderful place. There is small Safari as well. Zoo management can provide with an old car if you don't have for safari. The shows in zoo are also amazing. Depending on season there may be no shows. Overall good place to visit especially if you have kids.

Loved it. Excellent. Would come back every weekend. Plenty of rides for a 1 year old. The dinosaurs aren’t that scary. Would recommend.

A small animal park with lots of different playoptions for small children. My grand son (4) enjoyed it for >3 hours

Good for kids. It's a bit too easy/boring for teenagers but not too bad. I would say until 13yo it's good. There is a good mix of nature exploration (farm/dinosaurs) and rides but don't expect anything close to the quality you would get in a jet coaster specialist.

Great for little kids, Never any lineups for rides, entire park is shaded (except parking) my kids love it !

Great weather today. Several attractions were closed due to reopening this month but regardless we were able to have fun and visit the entire park. Perfect time to take the kids to the park as there were barely anyone there and no queues. Very charming park in the middle of the countryside, very welcoming, top team, great entertainment, the toilets were clean + In the toilets there is a space for changing babies, the attractions are perfect for children and adults alike ! We will surely come back ! Thank you !

15€ entry :) and you can do whatever you want till 7 pm. Awesome attractions for kids and adults.

Great theme park good family day out we ran out of time in the end so you will need a full day here or even a second visit. The rides are great for children between the ages of 4 and 10 there is no much for children over this age.

A real tourist trap, Very disappointing experience. We came here expecting an afternoon of activities for the kids and left after 2h. There were 3 activities that took about 5 minutes each, for the rest nothing interactive and just looking at unmotivated people who only speak french. For 90€ for 5 people, this is a real tourist trap (and yes, we have done similar parks in the past where the experience was way better) In short: Best to stay away

Recreation of a "typical" Village Gaulois an hour's drive from Toulouse. It's open from 14h00 (check days). The huts have been carefully recreated since the foundation of the project 1993. The team run excellent workshops and present their "metiers". Wood working, pottery, wool.

Just bring the kids for a unique experience - Asterix may be around

Very decent place

Lots of things to discover. Plan sufficient time.

Excellent

Medieval cathedral near the former archbishop's Palace... Worth visiting

Amazing place

(Translated by Google) Superb Saint Lizier Cathedral. Of great architectural interest. Superb vaults. Remarkable murals and statues. Access to the cloister at the back of the cathedral. The cloister has been restored. It's a peaceful place. Don't forget to open the door that reveals the religious works preserved in a secure location. A superb visit.

(Translated by Google) Coming for a short hike found on Visorando, we had the good idea of ​​visiting the cathedral before going for a walk. It is a magnificent monument and from the moment we enter we are taken by the atmosphere which leads to meditation. What is striking is this little cloister which is wonderful in its small size and so charming. I will have to come back to it because all the details of the murals have to be rediscovered. We were lucky enough to be alone during this visit which gave us plenty of time to appreciate the serenity of this place. (Original) Venus pour une petite randonnée trouvée sur Visorando, nous avons eu la bonne idée de visiter la cathédrale avant d'aller marcher. C'est un monument magnifique et dés l'entrée nous sommes pris par l'ambiance qui porte à la méditation. Ce qui frappe c'est ce petit cloitre qui est merveilleux dans sa taille petite et si charmant. il me faudra y revenir car tous les détails des peintures murales sont à redécouvrir. Nous avons eu la chance d'être seules durant cette visite ce qui nous a laissé tout loisir d'apprécier la sérénité de ce lieu.

(Translated by Google) The Saint-Lizier Cathedral is a true architectural gem, a must-see for history and heritage enthusiasts. Located in the heart of the charming town of Saint-Lizier, this cathedral impresses with its beauty and its atmosphere of serenity. The building, of great historical richness with Romanesque architecture, gives it an undeniable majesty. Inside, the visit is a real journey through time: the wall frescoes, the colorful stained glass windows and the religious furniture bear witness to the spiritual and cultural importance of the place. The element that particularly struck me was the feeling of calm and contemplation that emanates from this cathedral. You can spend long moments there contemplating the architectural details while being transported by the history and atmosphere of this sacred place. The location of the cathedral, overlooking the village, also allows you to admire a magnificent view of the surrounding landscapes, adding an extra touch to this experience.

(Translated by Google) We spent Saint John's Eve here. Starting at 6:00 PM, tables were set up in the square selling savory and sweet tarts in various flavors (€3) and beers (€2.50), among other drinks. A folk group performed, dancing and singing in the Occitan tradition. Around 10:20 PM, the church bells rang, and the bonfire lighting ceremony began! When the ceremony ended, some very discreet firecrackers were set off; our dog didn't even notice them (we came here to escape the firecrackers in Catalonia), since they couldn't be heard much from the apartments in Terres de France. (Original) Hemos pasado la noche de San Juan aquí. A partir de las 18:00 en la plaza se montan mesas y se venden tartaletas saladas y dulces de diferentes sabores (3€) y cervezas (2,50€) además de otras bebidas. Un grupo folklórico estuvo bailando y cantando tradición occitana. Sobre las 22:20 tocan las campanas de la iglesia y ¡empieza la ceremonia de encendida de la hoguera!. Cuando termina la ceremonia lanzan algunos petardos muy discretos, nuestra perra ni los ha notado (vinimos escapando de los petardos en Cataluña) ya que desde los apartamentos de Terres de France, no se escucha mucho.

This is a nice ski resort. In fact, the largest ski resort in Spain. Easily accessible by car. The whole area is very nice. 2h away by car from Toulouse and 3.5h by car from Barcelona. Plenty of slopes. Only 1 green slope so not quite good for beginners. Children area isn’t bad. Food and drinks on the slope are good and not expensive. Very large underground parking is available right under the gondola lift. 15 euro for the whole day. Daily ski pass cost 70 euro. (Winter season 2024/25) 160km slopes in total. Friendly staff all around.

What an incredible place to ski, amazing slopes with every level slopes from beginners to advanced and expert skiers. The Baqueira Beret slope system is not only in perfect conditions, but also very well supervised and taken care of. There are 4 main mountains to ski, 90 slopes and there is enough to not do one slope twice. They have a lot of artificial snow makers that give you a great ski experience even days away from the last snow fall. The views are great, ski pass prices are around 70€ per day and come with an insurance in case of accident. Rescue patrols are always on the lookout. There are numerous number of ski and Snowboard schools if you’d like to take private of group classes, prices starting from 75/h. If you are looking to rent, Intersports or La Rider are great places to get good quality equipment. Amazing ski location! Don’t forget to go to the Aprés Ski at the Moet & Chandon bar (in Beret) or at the 1500 bar (at the base of Baqueira)

Great Resort in general! Just sometimes have to drive to other parkings higher up because of the amount of people, and in the morning hours you can get stuck in traffic. The resort is huge so you will always find some slopes with few people even when you would think that it'll be crowded

Baquiera Beret is like Europe's hidden gem of a ski resort. Compared to their more pricey and popular resorts further north, Baquiera is shockingly very good in both absolute and relative terms. Even in relatively late season, we experienced snowfall literally every day we were there, pretty much guaranteeing amazing snow and powder experience - this compounded by the fact that the resort is relatively free of large crowds (especially in neighbouring mountains Beret and Bonaigua) and you get some of the most pristine and pleasant pistes in the world. Infrastructure is excellent with a combination of cable cars and chairlifts that allow you to easily explore the extensive and diverse of pistes of Baquiera; not to mention the accessibility of restaurants, bars and cafes spread out across the resort should you need a quick refreshment or a leisurely meal overlooking the stunning landscape. The resort boasts a variety of pistes for all skill levels and stamina, offering scenic long runs and technical but still very enjoyable runs in the blacks. I love that many of the trails effortlessly converge and diverge from each other so that you can have the option to move from challenging to easier pistes effortlessly making meeting up with friends regardless of skill level a relatively easy affair. While English is not widely used and minimally understood (except for the more central services of the resort), we rarely faced problems communicating our needs and people were patient and generally happy to help you. Even a little knowledge in Spanish (or even better, Catalan) will go a long way in getting you around enough to enjoy your time there. Will it still retain its charm in the coming years as more people discover this understated resort? It's hard to say, but it's definitely become one of my favourites!

Nice experience. Not so crowded for the big holiday (6-9 Dec) in Spain. The slopes are wide, well kept and the lifts are nice, for could be better and then, on the downside, very little life in town, there’s only one “club” Tiffany’s and it was a pain to find good restaurants that weren’t absolutely crowded.

Great resort. Quieter than most and plenty for all standards of skier.

Very nice ski center, quite big and with some very runs. We spent 5 sunny days skiing in late February. Most of the lifts are modern and fast. The ski center was quite crowded but the queues were moving fast. Lots of parking available, we found the ones up in Beret and Orri the most convenient. What was annoying were the traffic to get to the ski center and to leave from it. Especially during Sunday it took us almost 2 hours to return to our hotel in Vielha which was just 15 km away! All in all, it is highly recommended.

These people will steal your money and have no idea what customer service means. I made a reservation for gear rental online. When I arrived at 8:30 am to pick up, turns out the place is not located at the address posted in Google. Also, the hours are incorrect. They open at 9am. When I tried to call keep sending me to voice mail saying they were close. I'm a tourist and I was part of a group and we had an agenda. Since I couldn't get ahold of these people I had to rent gear somewhere else to be able to move on with my vacation trip. As soon as I had wifi access. I respectfully sent an email asking to cancel my reservation and get my money back because their contact information was all wrong and as a tourist I have limited communication. They literally say that it was my fault because they call me and that they will not give me my money. I explained my phone is from the US and didn't have full service. That they could have emailed me but thy never tried to contact me until I emailed them. So I respectfully ask to them to understand that is a big deal when you work in a tourist spot and your contact information is all wrong. Because this is how tourist find you. They basically ignore me and just charge my credit card. That's stealing. Not to mention some of the local businesses I asked for information said that it wasn't the first time people come and ask looking for these guys. So it have happened before.

Very nice personnel, nice skies.

The only good part of Skicenter was definitely the best teacher: Pau!! He’s very experienced and knowledgeable, and he has a whole range of ways to explain things if you don’t get something. Unfortunately, my experience with Skicenter didn’t really meet my expectations. Moltes gràcies Pau!

(Translated by Google) Spectacular, I have no other word. We have taught with Facundo, the best teacher you can choose. He has taught us everything. We started without knowing anything and we ended the third day skiing in parallel. The enjoyment is spectacular, the views are impressive and the experience is wonderful, we will definitely repeat it. Facu has guided us through the slopes, recommended others and made the experience something superior, we leave very happy. And as for the rental, very good, the equipment is new and we took the ticket office with them too, next to the 1500 and a good price. I recommend it 100% Thanks Facu (Original) Espectacular, no tengo otra palabra. Hemos dado clase con Facundo, el mejor profesor que puedas elegir. Nos ha enseñado de todo. Empezamos sin saber nada y hemos acabado el tercer día esquiando en paralelo. El disfrute es espectacular, las vistas impresionantes y la experiencia una maravilla, vamos a repetir seguro. Facu nos ha guiado por las pistas, nos ha recomendado otras y ha hecho de la experiencia algo superior, nos vamos muy contentos. Y en cuanto al alquiler muy bien, los equipos están nuevos y cogimos la taquilla con ellos también, al lado del 1500 y buen precio. Lo recomiendo 100% Gracias Facu

Good service and classes are good!

(Translated by Google) We went skiing with my girls and took Facu and Miguel, our instructors. They're both wonderful. The girls had a great time, and we went back the next time we went. I'm already looking forward to skiing next season!! 💕 (Original) Fuimos a esquiar con mis niñas y cogimos a los monitores Facu y Miguel. Son encantadores ambos. Las niñas se lo pasaron en grande y repetimos la siguiente vez que fuimos. Ya deseando esquiar la temporada q viene!! 💕

(Translated by Google) 1000% recommended! I took a class with Professor Pau and it was an unbeatable experience! Besides being a great guy, he's a fantastic technique teacher. I learned so much from him, and I'm sure I'll be back to this school. (Original) 1000% recomendable! Hice la clase con profesor Pau y experiencia inmejorable! A parte de que es un tío 10, gran profesor de técnica. Aprendí mucho con el, estoy seguro que volveré a esta escuela

Highly recommended for families or traveling solo. Very close from Bagneres de Luchon. The park itself is beautiful with some amazing views to the mountains.

We went with our car club to this lovely park. It is well laid out with a circuit route that you can follow easily. The animals are well treated, some of them are rescued and seem happy there. The deer and mountain goats are free to wander and are very at ease with people. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would recommend a visit.

We had fun visiting this park. It is also very clean compared to other animal park. Friendly staff, they're always around when you have question about the animals. Also the view is amazing!!! Highly recommended 👌

Value for money - too expensive! This park should cost 10€ max for adult. It is a nice walk in the nature with the specific animals. 2/5 mainly because of the price. For 10€ I would give it 4/5, not more.

I came specifically to see the bears and the pine marten. At the start of the park, the animals looked well and had good spaces. When I saw the bears, I was very sad..they had quite a small space to their size, and they seemed distressed. They were pacing back and forth constantly, it just seemed they were unhappy. Maybe I am wrong, and they were doing their morning exercises! It was the same with the pine marten, I only saw one and again it was going back and forth with no purpose, didn't appear relaxed and comfortable at all. The other animals were in pairs/groups and appeared well and content in their spaces.

Lovely animal park in the middle of the forest, almost every kind of animal had young ones which gives me the feeling all in all they are in good shape. Very natural feel to it. Mind you that most of the park is shaded in the morning so bring warm clothes, in September it was already chilly.

We loved this park, loads of animals which are running "freely" around you so you can get very close to them. Nicely managed and very relaxing environment. There is a little caffee stand with WC near the end of the circle. Be prepared for a few steep walks during the visit tho.

Very pleasant stay, professionnal and friendly employees. I recommend.

Great place for drinks and snacks after a walk. Beautiful view. Family are very friendly. Beer tastes good. We did not sleep or eat dinner but can recommend panini and ice cream :)

Great location BUT if you want to use the WC... They dont allow yo use it! Drink and eat bu go to the forest you pee or poo. Something is really worg having a bar without toilet and using all plastic glasses in the middle of the forest... They should have at least a portable toilet.

Outside season, but still nice lunch and for reasonable price. Owner eager to help me out with desinfectance and bandage to care for my cut finger (hit by drone rotor). Very nice area accessible by car withouf difficult climb.

Some others moaned about the price of beer, but we found wine to be far better value! The clouds came down and stopped us going for our planned walk, so instead we enjoyed a reviver in the large communal room adorned with typical alpine stuff like skis, deer skulls, and old photos. Lots of interesting walks start from here and there's a big car park. Sheep wandered about, some with clonky bells. Interestingly, they walked nose to tail, as if they too were afraid of getting lost in the mist.

Beautiful location for hiking and having a great meal afterwards. Homemade food, high mountain views and walks. Easy loop for a family hike and longer steeper stuff for a good challenge!

Selection of ice cream, good coffee, terrace with stunning view of the mountains. They have donkeys that will come and 'say hi', and a few dogs. Good base for venturing into the mountains with a carpark nearby.

Cerler is an excellent ski resort with all levels of slopes and not as many people as other popular resorts in the Pyrenees. There were very few queues on a Saturday which is normally the most popular day I highly recommend it!

Great snow, some lifts have seen better times, area nice, many friendly employees.

Really great skiing station, with a lovely village with houses all made of stone. The slopes are fantastic, the chairs and ski lifts are in great condition and people are really friendly and nice.

Beautiful ski station, not that large but cozy. However I expected more and faster chairlifts

Very nice ski area. A lot of different ski pistes. In weekend it was very busy.

Awesome hiking and great parking during summer

I have been to many ski resorts over the years. Cerler although not very big has a great charm and friendliness. I love it here. Although this year there has not been much snow thanks to the great system of snow cannons the pistes are in great shape. Great well maintained lift system and during the week no waiting. All in all a really great place to come and enjoy skiing. Highly recommended

A tiny lake is surrounded by an asphalt walking path suitable for bicycles, about 2.7 km long. The water in the lake is very cold and looks clean and full of water plants. All around we found fast food places, ice creams, boats for rent and inflatables in the water for children, on the shore of the lake in front of the attractions, a lot of noise... make your decision where to sit. Behind the boat rental business are convenient and relatively clean public toilets. There is plenty of parking around Lake -the parking spaces are marked "private parking" even those on the main road. Many park there without considering the signage.

Beautiful lake at Loudenville surrounded by mountains. The view is breathtaking. I have been there multiple times and it never disappoints. There is a thermal bath nearby to relax if you are tired of trekking.

Such a great place to visit ! The landscape its amazing ! The lake and mountains combine together to make a magic place ! Don’t hesitate to visit it !

An extremely beautiful place with easy access.

Must visit! Beautifull clean lake with great views.

Nice lake, good natural resource.

Best place to be with your family in Pyrenees

Not the friendliest/patience for English speakers. Outdoor hot baths are a lovely experience but 2 hours is over far too quick when you include time to get changed, showered etc. 3 hours would feel more of a reasonable duration.

Very “tired” building. A lot of facilities didn’t work, the interior looks like you are in the middle of the construction work. They need to repair everything. Stuff was unexpectedly rude. The nature outside is great.

Although we live 75kms from Loudenvielle, we used to love a weekly visit to Balnea. We used to love the pampering - white towels and Prija shower gel included in the service - Japanese baths heated to 40°C - peaceful silence throughout. Gone now are these little things that made our visits so relaxing and worth while. Gone are the white towels included in the entry price. Gone too is the shower gel and the obligation to shower before getting into the baths. Gone is our favourite feature - the Japanese bath at 40°C (now heated to a mere 36°C). We gave Balnea one last visit recently - the chatter and noise everywhere except the saunas was overwhelming; the place was crowded and felt like a public municipal pool facility. A hot shower at home is more therapeutic than the Japanese baths at 36°C. I guess good things never last. Farewell Balnea!

Amazing lunch and lovely spa. Many different themed rooms with varying types of pool/ sauna. Enjoyed the choices, some pools hotter than others. Outside pools have views of the surrounding mountains. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful thermal bath with a great idea - you can travel to Japan or Peru or relax in the Roman baths. The thermal water is great - but some restrictions: Unfortunately, long line in front of the entrance - on a Tuesday outside of the holiday season at 2.45 p.m. The changing rooms are really bad, you don't feel well. You are not allowed to wear flip-flops or take a towel with you into the sauna - that means everyone is sweating on the wood and you have to sit in the sweat of others. The very dark shower room is a major disaster, much too small and not discreet. You can't really take a shower naked and clean yourself before and after the thermal bath, that urgently needs to be changed. Please.

Probably the strangest spa I ever visited… and I did visit many, in multiple countries. There are no deck chairs AT ALL. Not even a single bench or chair to sit on. One can be either in the pool or stand somewhere. Staff asks you to leave EVERYTHING in the locker, including towel, book… or whatever else you might need… NOT a place to relax at all. Money wasted.

The shower was cold, pools outside were cold, pools inside were cold. Sauna was warm. People were shivering walking between pools. They said "it's only 3 degrees cooler in the hot pool" and wouldn't find is any kind of refund. AND you've got to wear speedos. 1/10 would not recommend

Absolutely worth visiting. Very interesting place. Very good guide.

Absolutely loved our tour and the cave. Of the caves we have visited, this one is the least “touristy”. It’s very tightly protected- in fact, no photos are allowed because that slows down the group and would allow the CO2 and heat to build up in the cave. We also had a very small group, about 12, which was lovely for an intimate setting. I appreciate that they had an English transcription of the audio for me to borrow!

I tried to visit these caves but unfortunately no photos may be taken inside the cave, with or without flash. I enquired with the staff as to the reason and was advised it's because of their tightly scheduled trips. They therefore, cannot afford to have people taking pictures. The bathroom was neat and the outside is well groomed, nice for a picnic.

Striking structures inside the cave . Guided tour only . Our guide was bilingual and quite good . Kids would love it . A bit pricey but your admission helps preserve the cave . Photos not allowed in cave . Would not be good for those who have difficulty walking on uneven surfaces or stairs.

Excellent .. magical for children too … 70 stairs and need care on slippery ground.

Cave has been very well preserved. With very unique crystal formations. Small groups are allowed at specific intervals. Very interesting for all ages. Visit takes around 1 hour.

The caves are beautiful and worth the visit. The website indicates that the caves are accessible to everyone including handicapped people. Although the entrance to the cave is via a tunnel that would technically allow wheelchairs or strollers, be aware that it is not possible to visit it because it is necessary to go up some stairs and people are not allowed to break off from the guided group and wait. The tour lasts about one hour and covers a lot of the history of the cave, the person who discovered it, and the geology of the place. It’s just a pity that no photos are allowed and it is not possible to make small stops to appreciate the little details.

Loved the day we spent here! It was well organized, also with the shuttle that can bring you up (perfect!) (it's not free).

Gorgeous and worth the terrifying drive and parking fee. Count on 5-10€ in parking to hike up and see the 2nd and 3rd lakes, option for the less mobile to take a little train. The views are amazing! Straight out of a postcard 😍

Super ❤️

Just Gorgeous

Amazing

(Translated by Google) Exceptional landscapes await you on foot or by bike. Take the Lakes Route and explore magnificent trails between the Oredon, Aubert, and Aumar lakes. Access is also possible by car, and many hiking trails start from the Artigusse parking lot. Family members can park directly at Lake Oredon. The hike to Lake Aubert is accessible. A shuttle bus can also take you there, as access by car is closed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For the more athletic, many peaks await you, offering priceless views of the valley. The Neouvielle peak is accessible at 3,000 meters, but the hike remains challenging, especially towards the end. Allow 6 hours without a break. (Original) Des paysages exceptionnels vous attendent à pied ou à vélo engagez vous sur la route des lacs et sillonnez sur des sentiers magnifiques entre les lacs d'Oredon, d'Aubert et d'Aumar. L'accès est aussi possible en voiture et de nombreux départs de randonnées se font depuis le parking de l'Artigusse. En famille vous pouvez vous garer directement au lac d'Oredon. La randonnée ver le lac d'Aubert est accessible. Une navette peut aussi vous y emmener car l'accès en voiture est fermée de 9h à 18h. Pour les plus sportifs de nombreux sommets s'offrent à vous avec une vue inestimable sur la vallée. Le pic de Neouvielle est un 3000 m accessible mais la randonnée reste difficile surtout sur la fin. Comptez 6 heures sans pause.

(Translated by Google) A must-do hike! Crossing the Oredon, Aumar, Aubert, and Laquettes lakes. Quite a steep climb and descent. Magnificent scenery. It's a shame you have to pay for parking (prices vary depending on the length of time you spend there). (Original) Randonnée incontournable ! Traversée des lacs d'Oredon, Aumar, Aubert et des laquettes. Montée et descente assez rudes. Paysages magnifiques. Dommage qu'il faille payer le parking (prix selon la durée de stationnement).

A mountain peak with observatory, restaurant & amazing views... if the sky is clear! When we visited there were a few interesting exhibits, with a photo history of the peak and a sun-tracking telescope where one could see flares. We booked the first cable car of the day so found it nice and quiet. Cost is hard to justify but if you like views and are in the area it's the place to be.

Although very “ touristic” I deeply recommend it. Be careful: it is an experience that takes at least 3-4 hours , including the line to the cable car up and down. At the pic , a cafe that is very expensive, so bring your own coffee and food… Also the area that the guests can walk through is very limited to 2 angles, you cannot look at views 360 degrees around which was very disappointing …

we first became aware of this through a television programme and decided that we had to do it. we wanted to book and overnight visit as we felt that this would give us the best experience. so in August 2023 we booked for July 2025, yes the wait is that long. when the time finally arrived needless to say we were very excited. We arrived at the cable car and were transported to the observatory, we were greeted and had to wait for someone who could speak some English as although we can speak fluent Spanish our French is not so good. we were given directions to our room and then told that we needed to be at a certain point for the welcome meeting. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable. we were not expecting luxury as we are aware that this is a working observatory, but the bed was super comfortable and the views from the windows we breathtaking. we arrived at the welcoming meeting to discover that all of the planned activities would only be conducted in French, we asked if there was any information available for non French speakers only to be told no. Whilst the staff did everything that they could to help and make our stay the best that they could, they struggled to communicate with us. This basically meant that 98% of the planned activities were simply not accessible to us. We missed the planned tour of the facilities as this was only in French so there was not point in us attending this. Dinner was really very good and the food and drink were exceptional. The sunset was spectacular followed by a short film, which did have an English translation, however the following planetarium activity was again only available in French. The night time stars were lovely and although we did get to look through a large telescope the explanations and information meant nothing to us as once again it was only in French. We did have a great time, but for the cost that we paid, to have 98% of the activities simply not available to us it was disappointing. This is a service that attracts and international clientele, to assume that everyone who attends will be able to speak fluent French is completely unrealistic. Not to have written information or audio guides available is simply lazy or arrogant. So my warning would be that yes the experience was amazing it was somewhat ruined by the fact that we were completely excluded from the majority of the planned experiences that were available. if you do not speak fluent French then maybe you should reconsider booking an overnight stay.

We skipped all the touristic attractions like the cafe and the cable car and came here by foot. Starting from Col du Tourmalet you'll have to cover 14,4 km (round-trip) and 740 m of altitude to reach the mountaintop. Most of the path is a wide road, pretty easy to walk on. However, the topmost part is more difficult, narrow, stony and slippery. I would recommend the path only to trained people with sure-footedness and mountain-experience and without vertigo. In any case, don't forget to bring good shoes, sunscreen, food and a sufficient(!!) amount of water. It is a beautiful hike amidst rocks, sheep, lakes, ruins, mountain-flowers and lizzards. You also have a chance to glimpse griffon vultures at close range. The summit itself is beautiful and scenic, looking down on the mountain ranges and snowy tops of the Pyrenees.

Beautiful experience on a sunny day. A petty that we can’t see anymore eternal snow with the global warming. A must to do.

Appalling tourist trap. If you can hike up, sure, that's the way to see this mountain, but paying €160 to be packed like sardines into the telecabine, then restricted to a terrace without access to the mountain itself, was lousy. The restaurant was over €50 each (for a burger), maybe it was nice but we didn't splash. The bistro had coffee & cakes. The planetarium show at €6 each, was just dire - a 20 minute reenactment of early days at the observatory, followed by the most basic explanation of Hydrogen forming stars, without any use of astronomical images.

Great experience - and a must-go in the Pyrenees. The cable car ride is a great adventure in itself - and the view from the platform is awesome! The bistro is a particularly great experience - very nice service and a large selection.

We visited La Maison des Chameaux for the first time last summer whilst on holiday and again this week as my two children age 11 and 8 loved it so much! Sarah and Paul who own the farm are so friendly and welcoming and you get a real sense of how much they really love and care for the animals. My children loved hearing about the animals various characters and how they came to be on the farm. My absolute favourite was Carla the pig who seemed more like a dog, following the children about and wagging her tail. As well as feeding and petting the animals, there was also walking the llama, training an alpaca and brushing the camels. Lots of educational things to discover too including learning about the different types of wool from the various animals. The farm is an ideal place to spend an afternoon and a fantastic environment for children to experience lots of different types of animals in a relaxed and fun environment.

Fantastic afternoon with various animals. Owner made everyone really welcome and there was great interaction and activities with the animals.

Fantastic. Very educational while fun. Very welcoming!

Absolutely fabulous

(Translated by Google) When we arrived we thought we would stay 1 hour after the picnic, it must be said that it is not long. We did the proposed activities and then we look at the time and it is already 5 p.m. (arrival at 11 a.m.). A very warm and family welcome. The exceptional hostess with children, even those who are fidgety. Family of 5 children from 3 to 13 years old, everyone found what they wanted there. A simple, very friendly place to which we will definitely return. Small downside Walking path too short for walk enthusiasts. (Original) En arrivant nous pensions rester 1h après le pique nique, faut dire que ce n' est pas grand.nous avons fait les activités proposées et puis on regarde l heure et déjà 17h ( arrivée a 11h).

Famille de 5 enfants de 3 a 13 ans chacun y a trouvé son compte. Un endroit simple très convivial dans lequel on reviendra à coup sûr. Petit bémol Sentier de promenade trop court pour les amateurs de balade.

As a catholic, I’m writing this review with great pleasure and joy. It was my first time in Lourdes and I felt so special and blessed. Please note there’s a candlelight procession happening at 9pm at night every day from April to October. Also there are several mass services in different churches in the premises. You can buy bottles from near by shops and fill holy water. There’s staff that help you with information and guiding you through. Have a pleasant pilgrimage Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for us

If you are a devotee of the Mother of Jesus Mary, if you are desperate for healing, this place makes miracles. So many devotees from around the world would flock this Holy place. So many proven miracles of healing that science couldn't explain. A beautiful place for everyone to experience the love of Mother Mary expressed through feelings of hope and love for Jesus and his mother.

A Place of Deep Faith, Peace, and Healing The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes is one of the most moving and spiritual places in the world. From the moment you enter the grounds, there is an overwhelming sense of peace, faith, and reverence. The atmosphere is filled with quiet devotion, where pilgrims from all over the world come to pray, reflect, and find healing. The Grotto of Massabielle, where the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette, is incredibly serene — especially during the evening candlelight procession, a truly unforgettable experience of unity and prayer. The basilicas, chapels, and walkways are beautifully maintained, and everything radiates a feeling of hope and grace. Whether you visit for spiritual reasons or simply to experience its profound tranquility, Lourdes touches the heart in a very special way. A sacred destination that inspires faith and peace beyond words.

Visiting here for the first time was truly breathtaking. The sanctuary is grand, magnificent, and more beautiful than any place I have ever seen. If you visit, you will feel the same wonder and excitement that I felt.

Lovely day taking in the beauty of Lourdes and it's surroundings. Very quiet on a Monday as most places were shut, but we did manage to find one place selling gorgeous crepes.

Beautiful grounds. Inspiring architecture. It's like a religious Disneyland. Healing waters. Round the clock rosary. 25000 seat basilica.

It is good to visit in early November, when it is much less visitors. I stayed for 6 days and having a serene time and a profound spiritual experience.

It is such a magical feeling beyond explanation. I just felt a sense of calmness and peace. Amen.

Historical place for Chatolic, quite place for praying & contemplation. Flash back & thank you for blessing me & fam.

As soon as you get to Lourdes the air, the senses and everything comes alive. Unfortunately I went without faith but with the knowledge that it was one of our Lady's home. In hindsight it made all the difference in my reversion. Go, with or without faith, Our Mother will love you regardless and grant you graces accordingly.

The place where st Bernadette Soubirous is said to have seen the Lourdes apparitions is called the "grotto of Massabielle", which is the most famous place in the sanctuary. The Lourdes water flows from a spring located inside the cave. From 2014 to 2018, the surroundings of the grotto were modified to facilitate the passing of pilgrims through the various facilities around the grotto. A new esplanade was built on the banks, taps providing water from the spring were moved away from the grotto while new fountains for pilgrims were created, baths were renovated and a new bridge was built. Chapel of lights were built on the right bank for pilgrims to light candles.

My experience in Lourdes was nerve wrecking, after the immersion I felt the tingling sensation from my painful, tight left leg disappeared. I truly believe that miracles do happen.

Very divine, holy.

Awesome experience. Peaceful, tranquil, you can feel the presence of Our Blessed Mother.

Nice waterfall and nature place. Dogs not allowed. Not friendly for strollers and toddlers.

My daughter and I had a fabulous walk to Pont d’Espagne and then took the chair lift up to the lake. The €24 ticket price (for two) saved the €8 parking, and was well worth it. The lake was a beautiful landscape to roam about in. But the icing on the cake was the walk/scramble back down the path - a truly memorable walk in the mountains!!

It was such a magical and mesmerising sight 🩵 The view is amazing! People go hiking here as well which is around 3 hours I heard but we took the télésiège (chairlift). It was closed two weeks ago but it is finally open since the weather allows it. There are two, the first one is a closed capsule and a shorter ride to one base, from there you can walk further, we took the second chairlift which was open as it is also used by skiers during winters. It was mildly scary because we were a bit afraid of the height but it is taken by multiple people for years now so we safely made it. While coming back down it was a little scarier as it kept pausing but that was due to many people getting on so they had to hold and adjust as they had kids along as well. Overall a fun experience as it gets you to the Lac de Gaube and Pont d'Espagne!

Good starting point for some epic hiking! (Or shorter walks if you have to 😉) Lots of parking, but would advise getting there nice and early. Alternatively, there's a regular shuttle bus service from Cauterets - check with the local tourist office for timings.

Amazing hike to the bridge and then to the lake. 8€ parking. Map attached

Picturesque place 🥰😍 It took around 15 minutes to get to the bridge as it was raining, everything was wet and it was a little bit dangerous to go on foot. But the rain didn't spoil the atmosphere of the mountains, waterfalls, nature if incredible here!

Practical information first. The car park is large and well organised, and the parking is free if you take the lifts to the top. Else it is between 7-10 euro for the day. There is a gondola which takes you to the bridge and an amazing waterfall with a restaurant. The walk to this part is quick and easy so perhaps the gondola is not needed. After that there is a chairlift to the top or a 1.5 hour walk. At the end of the chairlift it is a 15 minute easy walk to the lake. You can swim in the lake but it is very cold! Also available at the top is a restaurant but take some cash because there is not much service so sometimes cards do not work. There is a walk you can do halfway around the lake which takes about 25 minutes. It’s a pretty rocky walk. The lake is beautiful and the mountains that surround it are amazing. I recommend this visit to anyone.

À two hours walk up and down from the car park accessing the site. One advice, put some sturdy thick waterproof shoes as the path can be both rocky and very wet.

Cable car, chair lift and 15mins walk to lake. If you buy a ticket you get free car parking. The walk down is lovely, but difficult in places. Please wear good footwear

Beautiful lake in the mountains. An hour climbing from the parking and then you get a great view on the lake and the surrounding mountains, which can be enjoyed from the terrace of the L’Hotelerie. And easy to go down with the “telesiege”

It was a splendid day, enjoyed nature, highly recommended…

Lac de Gaube boasts an altitude of 1,725 ​​metres. There are two ways to get to Lake Gove. The first way is to go up to the middle of the mountain on the summer lift. Get off the lift and walk for about 20 minutes to reach Lake Gove. For those with a lot of energy, I recommend a one-and-a-half hour hike along the pine forest path after crossing the Spanish Bridge (Pont d’Espagne). If you reach Lake Gove by any means you choose, you will be able to enjoy the spectacular view of the 3,298 meter high peak of Vignemale Mountain reflected on the clear water. Strongly recommend to give a visit.

Beautiful Lake with great hiking trails

It’s a good two hour hike with breaks for lunch from the Parking to the lake. You can choose to hike up and come down using the telesiege/telecabin (we did this ) although most people prefer taking the lift up and then trekking down :) either way it’s a beautiful lake and even if you take a return trip with the ski lifts, there’s a nice track all around the lake which is a good walk .. I did the hike with my 6 year old (first hike) uphill and she managed luckily ;)we saw many kids hiking down .. the bar/cafe at the lake is good but only accepts CASH/cheque so carry cash!! Carry a big trash bag as you are not allowed to throw trash along the way and need to carry it back to the parking :)

If you're in thr Pyrénées the this is absolutely worth a stop. Beautiful formations a really informative guide and a fun train ride. Note that the accessible regions would still require some ability to walk because its not fully wheelchair friendly and some sections are very steep and it would be a hard push. Would actually say taking a wheelchair here is not a good idea. But other than that it's a great experience.

A visit to these caves is a must for everyone! They are huge, beautiful, interesting, and the boat and train ride are fantastic. Admission cost 17 euros per adult, our kids entered for free as they are younger than 4 years old. A bus picked us up from the free-of-charge car park and brought us to the entry of the caves. From there we started our journey through the mountain. The guide was experienced and Audio-Guides in various languages were available. These sometimes stop working but the guide can provide quick assistance. The geology of the caves are stunning. We really enjoyed our visit here although we didn't have time to visit the store and café at the end. We'll be back!

An excellent experience, containing a short boat ride and a train. The caves are beautiful and there are many stalagmites and stalactites to discover. Our guide, Gaston, was excellent and had a lot of insights into the cave, as well as many jokes along the way. One thing to be aware of, the cave water makes people go slightly bonkers while in the cave.

The best cave system I have ever visited and I have seen a few over 60 years in many countries. There are audio guides available in several languages. The combination of a bus ride, walking, boat ride and a train ride makes the whole experience unique.

Very impressive experience goes 5 level down in the cave - the start doesn't look much impressive but wait untill you go down and start about 1km walk between the rocks. Hint: We bought online tickets for a dedicated time slot and arrived there 15min earlier as recommended. It all went smoothly and we were inside within 15min. You need to park your car and then take the shuttle to arrive the entrance of the cave. The tour guides speak French and if you do not speak French audio guides available in many languages which is good enough however you wouldmiss the jokes and additional information unless you have someone to translate for you :)

Five level underworld, with a river flowing at the bottom, full of cave features. Everything is lit and ready for walking. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing caves, beautiful underground atmosphere. Unfortunately, the guide only spoke French, you had a headset that translated English at certain stations pre-recorded, The guide continued to speak in French, pointing out specific things to the group, If you do not understand French, you’re missing out on all of the jokes and interesting things, along with answering questions. French patrons were laughing many times at what the guide was saying, it was not on the pre-recording for translation. Then, at the end of the tour, the guide asked for tips, even though we did not understand what he was asking for, gestures, such as putting his hat out open like a peasant on the street without explaining or translating in English, very disappointing, disrespected, our language barrier. Recommend if you understand and speak French, but other than that, probably not worth your time.

Really interesting. The tour guide was great!

Fascinating place with really knowledgeable staff who are passionate about the site and it's history. We look forward to going back when the grotto is open to the public. Only marked 4 stars as the grotto wasn't open, but it is well worth a visit.

Very nice little museum with finds from the nearby cave (archeological site). The staff is great and very nice.

Great fun for under 10s - and for the inner child in all of us!

Super site

Just fantastic for kids and adults alike

Beautiful, idyllic and engaging 💜
