| 1958 | discovered during marble quarrying. |
Grotte de Fontrabiouse, named after the homonymous village, is a rather young discovery. It was opened during quarry works, developed as a show caves and now draws tourists to this rather remote village. The cave is huge and full of impressive stalactites and stalagmites. The biggest chamber is 25m high.
