About
The Site Troglodyte de Jonas is a spectacular subterranean fortress carved into the ancient volcanic rock of the Sancy Massif in Auvergne. Visitors step into a medieval world where fresco‑painted church walls, a towering spiral staircase, a historic bakery, and a feudal château combine to create an immersive journey back to the 11th and 12th centuries. Complementing its historical allure, the site offers engaging, fully‑themed escape games that weave mystery and adventure into the ancient corridors. With ample natural light filtered through the underground chambers and a panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding valley, a visit to Jonas is both a cultural treasure hunt and a thrilling storytelling experience.
