Paris Ice Cave is a rather small cave, located at the bottom of a doline. The water from the surrounding hills, which forms a small brook during spring, runs down the doline into the cave. So the cave is accessible as soon as the water dries out, which is normally in mid July. Because of the form of the cave, with two entrances both leading downwards into the cave, and of course the height of the cave, is is very cold, and contains ice during the summer.
The cave is not developed, but there is a track through the cave, and a visit is not very dangerous. Apropriate cothes, especially warm clothes because of the very low temperature are advisable. Also good shoes, lamps and probably a hard hat are a very good idea.
