Grotte des Demoiselles

Today we went to a giant cave with stalactites and stalagmites. I learned that stalactites come down from above and stalagmites rise from below. On the tour in the cave we saw both stalactites and stalagmites, we saw columns (when they join together) and we saw many other rock formations. The cave was discovered when a shepherd fell down a hole in the top of the cave while looking for his sheep. In the cave we saw creatures including a stuffed bear which represented an ancient bear skeleton that was discovered in the cave, and a transparent dromedary shaped rock formation! Did you know that to get to some of the parts of the cave the early explorers had to climb through a hole that was 70cm by 45cm wide! We got to look at a huge part of the cave that was 100 meters long and 50 meters high. At the end, the tour guide played Au Clair de la Lune on some small stalactites and used a hollow rock for a drum. Talk to you later,
