Grotte de Baume Obscure
Highlights
We are exploring this cave system using only the light from our camera. Nine caves make up the "Baume Obscure" grotto. Three of them—the Cypress Cave, the Praise Cave, and the Service Cave—form a subterranean network spanning 1,200 meters in length.
Location of the Grotte de Baume Obscure near Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey.
A section of about 700 meters is accessible via stairs and walkways, leading to a depth of 80 meters. The path offers a breathtaking view into the most interesting galleries and subterranean chambers of the Grasse Prealps.
Unique Mediterranean Karst
Baume Obscure is an incomparable place where one can discover the many facets of Mediterranean karst both above and below ground. The unique geology, mineralogy, and hydrology become just as tangible here as the specific fauna and flora, as well as the historical heritage of the region.
