Ste Colombe de Villeneuve sur Lot - Lastournelle Caves

(Local Name: Grottes de Lastournelle) The Lastournelle Caves are said to have been created over 25 million years ago, when the Aquitaine plateau was being formed. They were discovered in the 19th century by a well-sinker, but the entrance was not found until 1955. Two years later, the caves were opened to the public.

They are made up of seven rooms, including the pillar room, named after its long stalactites and stalagmites.

The caves are located in Lot-et-Garonne, between Agen and Velleneuve-sur-Lot.
