About

The Grotte de la Salamandre, located in Méjannes‑le‑Clap in southern France, is a breathtaking natural cave that captivates visitors with its colossal crystal formations and immersive light and sound show. Opened to the public in 2013, the cave is now a highlighted attraction in the Cévennes and Occitanie region, blending spectacular geology with a host of activities for all ages. Visitors can explore the cave on a self‑guided walk, immerse themselves in a solar‑powered audiovisual spectacle titled "Immersion" featuring iconic film music, stand at the panoramic Belvedere to enjoy a unique perspective on the cavern, or partake in adrenaline‑fueled adventures such as the Grand Rappel abseiling or the Nadaine River experience that lets children dig for mineral treasures. The cave is fully accessible to visitors with reduced mobility, offers family‑friendly activities, and hosts a range of ticket options—from a €15.50 guided tour to a €21 immersion show and a €11 Belvedere entry. The sanctuary is open all year round, with visiting times that vary seasonally: on weekdays and weekends, guided tours run every 30‑minute interval from 10:00 until 18:00, while immersion shows are available at 13:00 (and 17:00 on Saturdays). Prior online booking is recommended for popular periods, but on‑site ticket sales are also available." ,
