About

Le Mystère des Faluns, located at 7 Rue d’Anjou in Doué‑la‑Fontaine, is a unique troglodyte site in the Loire‑Anjou‑Touraine region. The underground galleries, originally limestone caverns, have been transformed into an artistic and sensory experience celebrated by the light and sound installations of Lucie Lom. Visitors journey through original caves, encountering projections, ambient music, and fossil imprints of prehistoric marine life. The site offers a blend of geological history, marine fossils, artistic storytelling, and educational programmes suitable for all ages. The experience is fully accessible, with ramps for wheelchairs and stroller‑friendly paths, and it remains open year‑round except during the winter closure.
