A chapel built into the rocks at the entrance of Les Grottes de La Balme launches your caving excursion. Its placement is an architectural feat rare for the period. Formations inside the cave will also intrigue as you navigate stalagmites thrusting up from the floor and admire ceilings of dripping stalactites.

  • Really nice place to visit close to Lyon. Pérouges and these caves make for a cool 1 day visit. The labyrinth inside the caves were the most liked feature of the family. The chapelle at the entrance is really beautiful.
  • Incredible place! The guided visit is only 10€ and it is totally worth it! During more than 1h30, you will learn about the formation of the caves, the animals that can be found here, and some events that took place in the caves.
