- 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.
