After just coming home from the Gorge Du Verdon, we have visited Les Grottes de Thouzon. The Thouzon Cave was discovered in 1902 while excavating for a quarry. Many years before they discovered the cave, there was a river called the Sorgue running through the ground making the cave. The water escaped via 'chimneys' in the cave. Eventually the water ran out so now it's a cave. But it is still in perfect condition.
It is an amazing cave because of it's localization: in the outer part of an old limestone massif. The sight inside was amazing. I liked the hollow stalectites. The longest one was 1m20! There were also some mini "pools" - a mini dam with water in it. At one point on the tour the tour-guide turned off the lights in the cave and we had a light show with music. It was very beautiful.
