The conducted tour begins, against a natural setting of quite stunning beauty, at the foot of givetian limestone cliff, on a catwalk overlooking the wild and meandering river "Eau Noire". Crossing in front of an impressive porch which is the river's main dropping point at present. Visit the two upper galleries of the Caves of Neptune, with their superb concretionary rock formations. The visit continues with a 20 min. boat trip along the underground river, 10 m below the level of the Eau Noire, highlighted by an unusual "music & light" display, unique in Europe, during the course of which a number of rushing waterfalls form an impressive backdrop to the display : music of Vangélis, stroboscopic effects.
