Hidden in the heart of the Roquefort country, along the Rance and Dourdou valleys, the statues-menhirs get us back in 3500-2500 b.c. Sculpted or engraved on their paving stones, wearing necklace or waist belt, they raise their mouthless faces, keeping their origins secret. By car or on foot, go and find those 49 mysterious characters. You can ask for a leaflet in the Tourist Center. Information on 05 65 99 29 13.
- The dargilan grottos
On entering via the natural entrance, you'll reach one of the hugest underground rooms in France (140 m. x 50 m. x 25 m.). You'll enjoy making a tour inside of this vast cavity dug in the heart of all types of vibrant and naturally colored crystallisations (stalactites, stalagmites,...). The second part, a former underground bed river, shelters the most important grotto's concretions : 2000 m² calcite streams (unique in the world), majestic columns, crystalline lakes,... After spending one hour underground, you'll be the witness to a breathtaking show : a panorama on the "Gorges de la Jonte". www.grotte-dargilan.com
