Grotte Forestière. "Visitez Autrement Sans Guide et Sans Réservation"

Presentation

Without a guide and without booking, a self-guided, peaceful tour among fine crystallizations and tree roots unique in Europe. Powerful headlamps are provided to light up the easy, safe course. Available: Golf, Games, Karts...

A concept of Slow tourism in an ecological site in the heart of the forest.

We have decided to take a stand against the company and its soaring inflation by maintaining the same rate since 2020. As a result, prices are always the most advantageous in the region.

Imagine you have the chance to discover a cave just between you, independently and without a guide. Equipped with powerful professional headlamps (provided) the roots of centenary trees unique in Europe and the soils lined with fine crystallizations that appear to coral bottoms, appear beautifully.
Without reservation and without time limit the visit follows a simple and secure path, protected by barriers.
From the baby, to parents and grandparents and pets, the course is facilitated by its horizontality and the small number of steps compared to other cavities in the region.
Benches and armchairs are arranged here and there to contemplate in a stop on image, the crystalline and vegetable beauties.
The explanations and teachings on the underground world are given in the form of explanatory panels, with an up-to-date content of the latest discoveries, which frees us from rushed guides and approximate and repetitive speeches.
The proximity to crystals is incredible, but it requires absolute respect for the natural environment.

Photography is allowed, the site allows to make beautiful images and videos and lamps respect the colors in order to fully succeed your photos. (the legend of the flash that damages the crystallizations is buried with the guides!).

A free green parking place you in the heart of the site. (No approach walk)

On the surface, the Forest offers to occupy children fully, to free time to play or rest. Allow time for the children to accept the idea of leaving, so that they can avoid desperate cries.

Free of charge with the visit to the cave: mini-golf, pedal karting circuit (children and adults models), cabanas biscornues, games sandboxes (mechanical shovels), draisiennes, scooters, kids bikes, games of skill for all ages and many other things. Simple games like we used to do.

The low-cost side activities: the crystal hunters' river (an exciting new way to discover crystals with a gold miner’s boat and a small artificial water course) but also workshops such as fossil hunters, Minerals, geodes and bracelets that are available all day without booking.

For hungry stomachs, we have created a delicious vegetarian snack that offers fresh, homemade, local and organic in large part.

For collectors, a mineral and fossil shop that seduces for the quality of its products and its ethics (minerals come from regulated quarries), with prices often much lower than online sales sites.
Virginie carefully manufactures lithotherapeutic bead bracelets with various positive virtues. It is also possible to create your own bracelet by choosing the pearls from a wide range offered.

Finally, confirmed walkers or Sunday walkers can go discover beautiful places, hiking from the site. Dolmens, entrances to caves or avens but above all, the spectacular balm of Ronze, a (free) open-air cave, easily accessible thanks to Google map (45 mn round trip/return).

Every year we invest in new activities so we invite you to visit our website to learn about the 2025 news: www.grotteardeche.com
