The “Souterroscope” of Grotte de Baume Obscure

Grotte de Baume Obscure

For millions of years, water has been seeping into the heart of a plateau overlooking the Gorges de la Siagne. They have patiently dug the limestone rock and, drop by drop, have fashioned spectacular works that have long remained secret and out of reach of mankind.

Numerous concretions, stalactites, stalagmites, candles and columns, offer visitors a wonder of every moment. Enhanced by sound and light animation, they bear witness to the creativity of Mother Nature, capable of erecting forms of surprising elegance, with a grace worthy of the greatest sculptors.

The Grotte de Baume Obscure, which has been fitted out and secured, now welcomes visitors who are seduced by an underground show that is as magical as it is unusual.

An underground treasure hunt

Visits with treasure hunts are particularly fun and appeal to children and parents alike. At the beginning of the visit, a facilitator tells a story and gives participants a scroll. They will have to find fantastic characters well hidden in the different rooms and solve riddles. The winners will have the privilege of opening the treasure chest containing semi-precious stones (jasper, tiger’s eye, hematite, agate, etc.).

These fun visits with a treasure hunt are also an invitation to discovery and encourage participants to pay attention to the smallest details throughout the course. Allow a maximum of two hours to solve the riddles and find the mischievous and enchanting characters hidden in the caves.

Did you enjoy the treasure hunt? The Grotte de Baume Obscure can also be used as a backdrop for many other games organized by the “Rêves & Veillées” agency: discovery games, big games, investigation and detective games.
