Le Village Troglodytique de Cucuron

The cave dwellings of Cucuron extend into limestone rock formations, creating a network of interconnected living spaces within the hillside.

During the 11th century, residents of Cucuron carved their homes into the rock face, establishing a multilevel community of cave dwellings.

The underground galleries and caves demonstrate traditional stone extraction methods and ancient approaches to creating living spaces.

Tours of the troglodyte dwellings require advance booking through the local tourist office, which coordinates guided exploration routes.

An ancient oil mill carved into the rock continues its traditional olive pressing operations using centuries-old methods and equipment.
