The Grotte de Tourtoirac (Cave of Tourtoirac) is newly discovered and opened to the public only in 2010. As a result the development was done using the most recent technology and know-how. The light is based on LED and the trail is fully wheelchair accessible.
The cave is notable for its extraordinary speleothems. Beneath the soda straws, draperies, rimstone pools, translucent stalactites and stalagmites, there is a wealth of helictites including the extremely rare ones looking like butterflies.
