Résumé

Nicknamed the "Crystal Cathedral", the Proumeyssac Cave is now the largest cave open to the public in Périgord. It was famous in the 18th century for its terrifying légends and was not explored until 1907. A tunnel takes visitors to the immense underground vaulted chamber where the walls are decorated with a multitude of closely-packed, stunningly beautiful crystallisations. The clever use of light and background music add the finishing touches to the cave's unusual atmosphere and a tour with an experienced guide ensures that this is a cave you will never forget. This book, written by experts, historians and geologists, describes every aspects of this fascinating place.
