THE MYSTERY OF THE FALUNS

The troglodytic caves of Les Perrières, famous for their monumental size and Gothic ogival forms, come to life with "Le Mystère des Faluns" (The Mystery of the Faluns).

Through an underground scenographic walk, visitors are transported into the underwater world present at Doué-la-Fontaine 10 million years ago. An educational film is shown, along with light effects, blue iridescent walls, a ballet of fish and a mirror of water... As you explore the caves, you'll discover the history of the site, the geological upheavals that gave birth to it, the animals that inhabited it and the people who dug it. A fabulous journey between land and sea, past and present, dream and science.
