St Cere - Presque Caves Attractions
Five kilometers from the town of St Céré are the Presque Caves. The caves were discovered in 1825 during the construction work for Highway 673. It was not opened to the public, however, until 1922. The main gallery of the caves was formed by a now-extinct river. Enormous stalagmite pillars, limestone formations and flowstones remain, in all shapes, sizes and various colors.
