Want to experience caving during your stay at the Corrèze campsite? Head to the Gouffre de la Fage, an underground cave over 700 meters long and classified as a Natura 2000 site.

Discover the Gouffre de la Fage

Located in Noailles, south of Brive, just an hour’s drive from the Camping du Gibanel, the Gouffre de la Fage is a 705-meter-long cavity carved into a limestone cliff. Home to over 10 species of bats, it is the only cave in Limousin open to the public, offering a unique opportunity to explore during your Corrèze tourism stay.

Visit the Gouffre de la Fage with your family

The Gouffre de la Fage is a fantastic family outing during your holiday at the Sea Green Le Gibanel campsite in Argentat. The stunning formations visible along the route captivate children, while educational workshops, available by reservation, teach young visitors about the cave’s millennia-old formation and the lifestyle of bats.
