Cave of Dargilan, Natural cave system in Meyrueis, France.
The Cave of Dargilan extends for 1,200 meters underground, featuring mineral formations across chambers reaching heights of 25 meters and widths of 50 meters.
A shepherd named Sahuquet discovered the cave in 1880 while pursuing a fox, leading to its first exploration by E.A. Martel and public opening in 1890.
The cave hosts musical performances throughout the year, combining natural acoustics with artistic expressions in its underground chambers.
Tours last 45 minutes, maintain a constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, and require appropriate footwear for navigating the illuminated pathways.
The cave contains a 2,000-square-meter flowstone waterfall and natural pink-colored limestone formations that earned it the name 'The Pink Cave'.
