The Caves of Sare Caves and chasms in Sare

An original exploration of the underground world!

20km from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, in the heart of a remarkable natural and historical area, lies a prehistoric site where the echoes of a thousand-year-old human adventure vibrate...

More than just a history or geology lesson, the guided tour of the caves of Sare takes you on a journey in the footsteps of our ancestors, where emotions mingle with the murmurings of the earth. It's a chance to grasp and reconnect with the deep bond that unites us with nature, the source of our beliefs and our cultures.

A unique, educational and entertaining experience for young and old alike, to be enjoyed whatever the weather, sheltered and at 14° all year round!
