A surprise delight. Most of the tour is a descent on stairs and walking through large cavernous rooms with fantastic structures. The end is a spectacle and an elevator ride back to the surface. Some familiar structures seen in other caves, but a few new ones. The scale is grand. Well worth a visit.

The Aven is one of the official grand sites in France and as I consider definitely deserved. The whole venue is arranged greatly and the cave ... Which isn't a cafe but an Aven, since it has no horizontal access ... Is definitely one of the greater caves you can easily access and I visited most of the regions caves. It's wonderful and impressive. Has incredible unique features and it's a 121 meter deep journey into another age. You go more than 700 steps down and this takes already an hour with not too much time to marvel over these natural wonders. The tour is usually good and there are English ones available. Since the CO2 levels rise with the depth and tire people and make the climb up longer and exhausting, to protect the cave an elevator was installed that brings you back rapidly and without the typical exhausting experience of a deep limestone cave. If you are here, this is a must see

We had an amazing visit here on a hot day. The site is quite large, and houses the aven, a museum and some outdoor activities. We did the guided English tour. Our guide, Gabriel, was the best. Really enthousiastic and knowledgable. He actually was a real joker and made the whole tour through the aven really fun. He was also willing to answer any questions and did so with humor and fun facts. Gabriel made the visit very worth while. The aven itself was very impressive and huge inside with beautiful stalactites and stalacmites. It went some 120m deep and it is also possible to do some spelunking and visit deeper parts of the aven. Parking is readily available and free, with a clean toilet facility. The site is easy to reach from Vallon pont D'arc and, some 20 to 25 minute drive. Charging electric vehicles is also possible, but we did not use that. Really recommended to visit!

Fantastic experience. Definitely look around the museum and then cool off down in the aven. Bring a jumper and shoes with good grip.

Wonderful caves and tour. Very well organised and able to book a tour in English which was a bonus. The caves are huge and beautifully lit. The history and story of their discovery are well presented. It's an easy pace tour, lots of steps but all down finishing with a lift back to the top. Wonderful show to conclude the tour. After the caves, the museum of ancient history is also great.

Visited here when I was 7 months pregnant thinking that it would be difficult but turns out its fine and great visit! To go up there was a lift so it was nice! The guide also very detailed. Recommended places to visit.

Venturing into the Aven d'Orgnac cave is a captivating experience that I highly recommend. Nestled within the earth, this natural wonder is not only a visual feast but also a testament to the beauty of our planet's history. The cave, while awe-inspiring, does carry the chill of the deep underground, so remember to bring a warm jacket and gloves to stay comfortable. The light show within the cave is nothing short of magical, illuminating the ancient formations in a dance of shadows and light that is sure to leave you enchanted. It's important to note that the cave can only be explored through a guided tour. However, due to its popularity, tours can get fully booked, so you might have to wait for the next available session.

A bit expensive but all the free games around make it worth it. The cave is fascinating. We had a great time with the kids on a rainy day.

A lovely place to spend time with your kids. A very friendly staff and lots of things to do for the kids (tip: go search for minerals and gemstones together out the bucket of sand you can buy at the shop) . The cave is beautiful, which you can explore at your own pace. A unique experience!

Very beautiful cave. Lot’s of fun exploring with young kids using the provided headlamps. There aren’t any tours so you can explore at your own pace. It takes around twenty minutes to explore and it is then recommended to circle back to see the cave in a different light. Lot’s of things to do for kids after the visit to the cave. The food was all vegetarian. We really liked the avocado burgers. Would recommend for people with young kids.

Fantastic atmosphere and great team. Great humour (tip: read their flyer)Don't take life too seriously, exactly how I like it!

A really amazing experience, even for small children i5ts readily accessible and doesn't take too long

We visited the cave with three young children and it was great! We recommended going here as there is no guided tour so you can stay as long or short as you want. Plus outside there is a free play area with sand pit (in the shade), carts to ride on and mini golf. The cave itself is big enough with plenty to see. All kids get their own headlights which they loved.

Family oriented! Lots of games and activities to enjoy. We enjoyed the "chasse aux cristaux" and the bracelet making ateliers. Can easily spend the entire day here!

Did the day with Pierre in the Ardeche area if France. Absolutely terrific tour: he is extremely helpful and patient (I have trouble walking and he pushed a wheelchair for me at Chauvet cave replica). Very, very knowledgeable about the history of the area, the creation of the replica of Chauvet cave, and the general environment and aspects of life. We can not recommend him enough. You will learn so much more than trying to get around by yourself.
