Le Mas-d'Azil
The cave you drive straight through
From the 2014 guide – ThomasA cave you drive straight into.
The D119 road runs through a 420-metre natural tunnel carved out by the River Arize. Inside the mountain there are guided tours of prehistoric finds – the cave gave its name to the Azilian culture.
