Gouffre de Padirac, Padirac

Awesome! If you're into history, archeology, and exploring. Very fun. Bring comfy shoes with good grip! There are lifts if you don't want to take loads stairs up, but you still need to take them down and there's lots of walking.

Practical details first. It’s 14 degrees down at the bottom so wear something warm. You can take stairs or you can take an elevator so it’s partially accessible. We had a baby with us and used a baby carrier. Went down using the stairs and up in the elevator. Easy and accessible parking and a decent place to eat. Don’t arrive too early for your door and do book online before you go as it can get busy especially in the summer months. Now the attraction itself was amazing. It is unbelievable how something like that is a natural occurrence. Two hours drive from Toulouse it’s definitely a must see. You even take a boat for 500m on an underground river. Audio guides in many languages. Really fantastic day out.
