2010-07-08 Visit to the caves at Courniou-les Grottes

Welcome to the caves of the Deveze and the french museum of Caving.

I will try to remember what these were all called, no guarantees !!

The two cicadas.....

the Draps (curtains or sheets)


?


aragonite 'flowers'


?

No not cave paintings.....well painting in a cave, but not very old....they were painted for the 70 year anniversary of the caves being open to the public....some people asked if they had been painted by children.......apparently not !







This was the spiders web.....

and this one the wedding cake....





I think this was the Princesses cave? see the eccentric staligtites which change direction and instead of going straight down, go sideways, this is caused by air currents .....
