We did the regular visit 3 years ago, and returned this year for the 2-hour spéléo tour with kids ages 15, 12 and 8. I would recommend doing both! The first to learn about the history and geology; the second to see it up close in spectacular fashion. The spéléo team is friendly and super pro. The course is challenging in spots (bring good shoes and good humor), and Nicolas was an excellent guide, allaying all nerves and nimbly appearing at our sides at the precise moment someone needed help or encouragement across a passage. Kids reported feeling periodically terrified but then so proud of themselves for doing it. Concentrated primarily on my feet, I did not have a great deal of head space for asking questions about the formations so was glad to have been previously to have some idea of what I was seeing. Picnic areas on site are a plus; parking can be hairy in the high season so plan ample time.

Ponts Naturels

Reviewed By RussellH796 - Melbourne, Australia

We have now done this hike twice and loved it both times. We now believe the best way to do it is to park your car on the side of the road at the first safe spot below the village of Minerve. You then walk for about 20 mins on the road until you come to a dirt track on the right hand side just past the bridge( we made a little stone pile) Walk down there and enter the gorge. Walk back up the gorge towards Minerve It will take you a good hour , and parts of the gorge bottom are quite uneven , so wear appropriate footwear. You will see amazing colours in the stones on the river bed and on the gorge walls. You will walk past a beautiful cavern laced with maiden hair ferns, you will go through two massive caves , one with an upside down fig tree and the other with hundreds of petite dolmens .You then end up in the beautiful Cathar village of Minerve! Amazing.
