grotte mystérieuse

  • 13

The cave itself is a tunnel that opens at 12 metres, at the bottom of the canyon on the right. If you look up very quickly, you will see a well into which you can climb to come out into the open air, in a basin surrounded by glistening rocks. When the weather is fine, the lighting is magical.

The cave is fairly bare, despite the orange sponges and gorgonians. On the way out, however, you can explore the rocky screes and small drop-offs.
