PRESENTATION
The Chasm of Poudrey is a real geological phenomenon due to its formation and its internal dimensions, which makes it the 4th largest underground cavern in France in terms of volume. Its total volume is equivalent to 1 million cubic meters. Discover this wonderful underground world during a tour of 1 hour. A music and lights show on the legends of Franche-Comté showcases this amazing chasm. The guided tour is in French and in English thanks to smartphones and headphones. Professor Fournier and his team are delighted to welcome you to discover one of the treasures of Franche-Comté.
To reach to the chasm, it is necessary to go down 250 steps and then climb up them again.
