Being a visitor of Dargilan you’re captured by the impressive dimensions and the variety of its accentuated natural colored formations.
The original entrance, discovered in 1880 by a shepherd who hunted a fox, does not annouce the importance of the rooms which await the visitor. This underground maze, revealed in 1888 by Edouard Alfred Martel and arranged the first time in 1890, made of Dargilan the first cave open to the public.
“Go and visit Dargilan, even when you already know the most beautiful caverns of Europe”
E.A. MARTEL – Founder of French speleology
