Construction of the road : Léon DOZOL : The entrance :

- Sometimes, life can be a great suprise: in June 1890, as Léon Dozol was diging his field to plant a vine, a lucky stroke of his pickaxe suddenly revealed the caves beneath his feet.

- The DOZOL cave was born! With the help of friends and voluntary workers, the DOZOL family spent years without az break to set up a tour for visitors to also live this experience.
