Cave / Rocks Sights in Antibes — 3 of Our Favourites

This museum gives visitors feelings and sensations similar to those of a speleologist continually discovering, with the light of his lamp, an infinity of shapes and colours in the limestone rock.

Along the length of the picturesque course in a 700 metre loop, and guided by an original score by composer Christophe Guyard, the subtle play of light and shade seems to bring the cave to life.

Once inside, guided from room to room, visitors will discover the spectacular underground landscaped of an imposing world perfectly set off with appropriate, simple lighting. The whole route is perfectly laid out and safe.

At these depths, the extraordinary pinks and purples of the natural columns of rock create a magical atmosphere. The incredible beauty of the setting inspires the imagination, and the rock formations take on the shapes of birds with magnificent plumage, stars, corals, tentacled sea creatures, an astonishing skull and even a skeleton.

About 4 km up the deep gorges, the Cascade de Courmes (waterfall) comes down over the rocks and then spills over large mossy boulders into the pool, 40m below the top. A spectacular sight!
