Baume Cellier, Natural cave in Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, France.
Description
Baume Cellier is a cave in Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert with a main passage descending southward and connecting underground rooms of different sizes. The interior reveals natural formations and multiple levels linked together by variations in the cave floor.
History
The cave served as shelter during historical conflicts and shows a fortified structure at its entrance from that era. This defensive feature testifies to the people who sought protection in this area.
Culture
The cave stands as a notable element of Hérault's geological heritage, interconnected with the network of caves in the Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert region.
Practical
Visiting requires sturdy footwear and care on wet areas, as the cave floor is uneven and slippery in places. Bring a flashlight because the interior is dark and difficult to navigate without artificial light.
