Domaine des Grottes de Han (Caves of Han)

It’s a little off the castle trail but on a rainy day you could go off piste to see this spectacular light and sound show ‘Origin’ in the ancient Caves of Han. The special sounds and light techniques transform the space into a kind of subterranean nightclub (minus stilettos) to recreate the story of past times. Visiting these magnificent chambers formed over millions of years is like taking a journey to the centre of the earth. The strangely formed cave walls are a reminder of the tropical ocean of creatures that once swam through these vast spaces. The caves have fascinated since time began, first by prehistoric tribes for shelter and now as a wondrous tourism attraction that has earned it 3 green Michelin stars.
