Grottes du Mont Cornadore, Ancient Roman thermal caves and museum in Saint-Nectaire, France.
The Mont Cornadore caves feature two thermal springs with water at 22°C, containing high concentrations of carbon dioxide, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and iron.
The caves, discovered in the early 19th century during thermal tourism development, contain perfectly preserved Roman baths dating back to the 1st century.
The mineral-rich water from the caves supplies local craftsmen who create decorative objects through calcium bicarbonate deposits, maintaining traditional techniques.
Guided tours lasting 45 minutes cost 9.90€ for adults and 6.90€ for children, with the site operating daily from 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00.
The caves contain a stalactite measured at 2,000 years old and maintain two distinct thermal water sources: one ferruginous and one saline.
