The Caves of Dargilan, Aven Armand, Abyss of Bramabiau
South Aveyron has good number of caves or abysses near the campsite aveyronnais. Go and discover them!
We recommend the following visits:
- Dargilan : nicknamed the pink cave, it’s the largest cave in the Causses and Cévennes
- Aven Armand : underground cavity created by nature and located on the Causse Méjean, in Lozère
- Abîme de Bramabiau : another natural cavity which shelters an underground river, between Millau and Mount Aigoual
Some gorgeous sites, to be preferred in rainy weather or to find a fresh spot!
