Located between Anduze and St-Jean-du-Gard, in the Mialet Valley, the Grotte de Trabuc, a major cavity, can be discovered with the family, on an interactive, scenographic and secure light trail, which places the visitor at the heart of a authentic nature.
The autonomous audio-guided tour out of season and accompanied in summer, will transport you into the history and magic of this great natural site labeled Esprit Parc national des Cévennes.

The interactivity of controlling the lights to discover the galleries and its mineral beauties, immerses the visitor in an unusual underground world, and fun at the same time.

It is a living cave, where water tirelessly leaves its mark on the stone, flowing from draperies in cascades, to the foot of the Midnight Lake in a staging of shadows and lights.
It is home to a mysterious phenomenon: an army of 100 soldiers at the foot of the Great Wall! A unique training in the world.

Frequented at its natural entrance by the Huguenots at the time of the Wars of Religion, then by the Trabucaires, highway bandits who used it as a hiding place, it was in 1945 that the upper network was discovered, today developed and easily accessible. .

Explore the different visiting experiences offered by the underground world of Trabuc, in the old-fashioned way with carbide lamps, in a more sporty version, in the light of thousands of candles at night, or opt for the scenography of The Magic of Christmas lights.

Each season has its own program, and wander through these preserved wonders, which make the Grotte de Trabuc an essential stopover during your stay in the south of France.

Labeled “Esprit Parc National des Cévennes”, the Trabuc cave is part of a responsible and sustainable development approach, taking into account the emerging health imperatives linked to the reception of the public, to ensure peace of mind for visitors, in his practice of the proposed discoveries.
Our goal is to do “Better rather than More”, while reconciling economic viability, heritage protection and development of the local economic fabric.
The site offers a welcome on a human scale, the experience lived by the client, is done, through a friendly meeting with the staff and the guides and by an immersion as close as possible to the underground environment, which promotes, from the side sensory and emotional experience, an awareness, about the value of the environment and the interactions of human activity.
