Truly unique experience - loved learning about this place, from the connection with the famous Villandry, to being a transit area for the resistance during WWII, to the artisanal objects made from the chemical reaction with the cave's calcite... you won't find a visit like this anywhere in the world. I recommend to visit after or before Villandry, as it will give more meaning to the castle's history (although this is a really great stop all on its own). Thanks also to our guide, who took the time to explain and answer questions - her passion for this place was obvious and made the visit all that...

Endroit très beau que je conseil cependant, une guide audieuse, c’était une visite expres pas le temps de comprendre ce qu’elle disait il fallait vite changer d’endroit. Des que l’ont faisait une plaisanterie entre nous ( hors speech) elle devenait agressive « c’est plus les adultes qui parlent qui me dérangent que les enfants » ainsi que son agressivité quand nous ne savions pas où nous mettre car elle ne nous indiqué rien.

Mais aussi son manque de pédagogie avec tout le groupe en disant qu’elle connaît ce qu’elle disait ( ça reste à discuter vu son manquement de rigueur).

Un manque de professionnalisme, pour une personne censé expliquer et travailler dans le monde du tourisme. Certe ce n’est pas facile après plusieurs passage, mais cela reste son travail, et les réflexions sous entendu ne sont pas à faire surtout au près des autres visiteurs car nous étions visé directement. Elle a d’ailleurs fait une réflexion à notre sujet «  sur les gens de devant » c’est à dire nous, lorsqu’elle a dit sa collègue.

Enfin au moment de la visite du musée nous nous sommes aussi prit la réflexion de regarder ce qu’il y avait dedans et de ne pas écouter, hors nous savons encore faire 2 choses en même temps.

Je déconseille fortement de faire la visite avec cette personne. À noter qu’il en a été notifié à l’accueil, pour que cette information ne reste pas inconnu aux yeux...

Excessivement déçu, il s agit de LA déception de notre séjour en famille dans la région qui est une région absolument merveilleuse. Grottes qui n ont de pétrifiantes que l ennui qu elles nous ont causé. Rien de naturel puisqu'il s agit la d'anciennes carrières ou a été extraite la pierre de tuffeau servant notamment à construire le château de Villandry. Enfin, on le suppose car notre guide n était également pas très instructive.... mais plus intéressée par faire évoluer son groupe rapidement pour céder la place aux groupes suivants... De plus, nous étions entassés comme dans un métro aux heures de pointes....Allez visiter une champignonnière, il y aura davantage de choses à apprendre. Piège à cons, a fuir absolument, nous sommes même partis avant la fin de la visite. Dernière précision, les seules choses pétrifiantes que vous y verrez sont de vulgaires objets en terre cuite qui sont posés dans des petits bassins calcaires et qui sont recouverts par cette matière en qques mois pour mieux vous les refourguer à la fin de la visite... car OUI nous sommes partis avant la fin et un personnel a eu le culot de nous dire que ce n était pas fini et qu'il y avait la "boutique musée".... Bref ne perdez pas votre argent bêtement, et allez boire une petite mousse au pied du château de Villandry situé à quelques centaines de mètres, vous passerez un...

Very average I'd have to say compared to other limestone caves I've seen. There were some very nice draperies but the caves aren't huge and they're not in a particularly natural state. The caves seem a bit like it's just a factory for making limestone trinkets.. And I still don't entirely understand what the roman grave things are about? It's unclear if they were found on site or if someone has moved these artifacts to the location they're now in..?

Tour guide disappeared for lunch half way through tour... She also only gave talks in French despite being able to speak English and just handed us a written guide which was difficult to read in the dim lighting of the cave. EDIT: After about 30 minutes another tour guide came and offered her apologies. She continued the tour with English translations.
