What to expect
The Gouffre de Proumeyssac, also known as the 'Cathédrale de Cristal', is a natural cave located in the commune of Audrix, in the Dordogne department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in France. It is a large cavern with stunning crystal formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and monoliths. The cave is open to visitors and offers a unique experience, with a new sound and light show that highlights the beauty of the crystals. Visitors can explore the cave through a traditional visit or by taking a thrilling descent in a nacelle, a small cable car that rotates 360 degrees, offering a panoramic view of the cave. The Gouffre de Proumeyssac is a popular tourist destination, attracting over 150,000 visitors per year, and is considered one of the most beautiful caves in France

What to do in Dordogne with family on vacation and weekends: the essentials
THE PROUMEYSSAC CHASMS
Activities: We discovered Gouffre de Proumeyssac during our family vacation in Périgord. The visit begins with explanations about the discovery of the cave, the first descents… then we discover the cave at the end of a long tunnel by a sound and light presentation. The children loved it. The exit is via the gift shop. There are games outside
Highlights: The children loved it, "it's very beautiful, well lit, we walk in spaces more or less large, more or less close to the rock". The sound and light show was great! "The visit lasts about 45 minutes which allowed the children to be attentive throughout". The novelty is a ludic-educational park and animations with the professor Farfelu Géopole ✨
