You will also discover many rooms (the Hall of the Moonlight, the Gallery of the Lion, etc.) spread over three levels. In addition, an atmosphere with light effects and a sound accompaniment (visit in three languages) complete the explanations given by your guide.

About the location

Grottes de Nichet

Grottes de Nichet, 08600 Fromelennes

Ardennes
Grand Est

In operation since 1895, the cave was reopened to the public in 1987\. This cave has retained its original character and undoubtedly forms the most charming geological curiosity of the Ardennes. Dug naturally in the limestone of the Ardennes massif, it reveals to the visitor the mysterious forms that nature has endowed it. The cave of Nichet is also the refuge of the nutons, these small beings endowed with powers and that we can sometimes meet during a walk in the forest of Ardennes.
Stunning views of Fromelennes and Givet with the Black Pine Observatory. A double platform, one at 8 meters, the other at 12 meters of height, accessible by a Nepalese footbridge. Sensations guaranteed.
