these caves are located in the Vercors mountains just an hour north of Grenoble by Bus, the have stalamites and stalagtites... pokey things in both directions. the inside temperature is the same all year long 50°F and the water is about 40°F year round as well. These caves are some of the oldest in the world, with stalagtites that grow about an inch every 50 Years the caves have some that are well over 5ft long, unfortunately what made these caves famous; what made them famous is that durring the second world war the french resistance movement used them as a hide out to escape the italians and then later the nazi? this was used as a refuge for Jewish families... I would like to tell you that is the end of the story and everyone lived happily ever after,But this is France, and even in french cinema endings arn't happy, and niether was the ending for these Familires and restance fighters....
what was really cool about this trip was the water falls (which are Technically off limits) where amazing to play in ...
