After a short presentation relating the history but also the basics of geology allowing a better understanding of the cavity, the public goes throughout this visit to the prehistoric access, which has now collapsed.
This path, approximately 400 m long, takes in some of the most beautiful galleries in the cave, alternating active parts, where the river is located, and fossil parts rich in various concretions.
The closer the visitor gets to the end of the visit, the more he finds himself in the context of prehistoric occupation and the presentation of the remains in place allows him to hold his attention.
The visit ends on a scree obstructing the primitive access to the cave of Foissac. The reasons and the time of this obstruction are not clearly defined. This closure allowed the conservation of the site with its remains.
Postcards, minerals, books, games and a whole host of other gift ideas. Playful or educational, leave with an original souvenir of your visit.
A few steps from the entrance to the cave, the museum is an essential complement to the visit, accessible both before the start of the guided tour and after it.
The prehistoric cave of Foissac, 1.5 km south of the village of the same name, is located on a limestone plateau overlooking the Lot valley.
The Foissac cave is located on the edge of the Causse du Quercy and the river that you will discover during the visit finds the open air after several kilometers of underground travel.
