Grottes de Maxange, Show cave in Le Buisson-de-Cadouin, France.
The Grottes de Maxange is a show cave with underground galleries featuring limestone formations throughout. Visitors walk through passages decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, and sparkling aragonite crystals.
The cave remained unknown until 2000 when a local quarry worker discovered new sections during his work. This find opened the underground passages to visitors for the first time.
The cave serves as an educational center where visitors learn about geological processes and crystal formation through guided tours and informative displays.
The cave is open from April to October with guided tours available in several languages. The pathways are well-developed and informational materials in multiple languages help visitors understand what they are seeing.
The cave features an unusually high concentration of eccentric crystal formations that grow in different directions. These crystals do not follow standard gravitational patterns, making them visually striking.
