An original exploration of the underground world!
20km from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, in the heart of a remarkable natural and historical territory, lies a prehistoric site where the echo of a thousand-year-old human adventure vibrates...
Beyond a history or geology lesson, the guided tour of the Sare Caves offers a journey in the footsteps of our ancestors, where emotions mingle with the murmurs of the earth. An opportunity to grasp and reconnect with the deep connection that unites us to nature, the source of our beliefs and cultures.
The megalithic park and the site museum are freely accessible and allow you to supplement the knowledge acquired during the guided tour.
A unique, educational and entertaining experience for young and old, to be enjoyed whatever the weather, under cover and at 14°C all year round!
