La Cave Madame — Attraction in Rivière du Rempart District

Loved my recent expedition to the caves, I found myself captivated by their remarkable architecture, to my astonishment, I discovered that these magnificent structures were formed by the eruption of volcanoes.

Final, and essential note: the entrance main gate of the place is located on the main road itself, not in the side roads as wrongly indicated by the directional signs on either side of...
