The caves of Villecroze

The caves of Villecroze, in the heart of Provence, are a fascinating natural wonder and a popular sight in the area.

What makes the caves of Villecroze extra special is the way people have added to nature here. In the Middle Ages, extra rooms, staircases and even windows were carved into the rock, giving the complex an almost mystical feel.

Today the caves of Villecroze are open to the public, and visitors can enjoy a fascinating tour of this age-old labyrinth. On a visit you learn not only about the geological history of the caves but also about their strategic and cultural importance over the years.

Directly below the caves lies a beautiful botanical garden, an oasis of calm with ponds, waterfalls and exotic plants. Laid out in the 18th century, these gardens are the perfect complement to a visit to the caves.

Here you can enjoy a quiet stroll, surrounded by the scent of lavender and the shade of old trees, while the sound of water from the nearby waterfalls creates a soothing atmosphere.

The caves of Villecroze are the perfect destination for anyone interested in nature, history and discovering hidden treasures in Provence.
