The Chasm of Padirac - 16th July

Explored the Chasm of Padirac today - one of the largest caves in Europe. We soon found out why it is such an amazing attraction as we descended 103m underground and then hopped into boats to sail along the underground river within the cave system!

Awesome rock formations within the cave chambers at the end of the underground river. Even the boys were impressed with these old rocks!

Later in the day we went to Rocomadour to watch a bird show with eagles, vultures, condors, and macaws all swooping and diving around us. 

Awesome setting in the Dordogne valley with ancient chateaus overlooking the river below!
