11. Padirac Cave, Nouvelle-Aquitaine
In 1889, spelunker Édouard-Alfred Martel entered this 103 meter-deep well. Inspired by the works of author Jules Verne he pressed on, discovering a maze of galleries, with an actual river system running through them. The water was initially dark, soon turning cobalt blue in his candlelight. He also found multiple chambers with cathedral-like vaults, complete with iridescent stalactites. Today, you can explore all this for yourself via foot or even an elevator.
12. Abbey Church of Sainte-Foy, Occitanie
For centuries, this church has gathered France’s most significant collection of religious goldsmithery. Indeed, the famous cult of relics was reportedly “fundamental to the Middle Ages.” It made Conques into a significant spiritual center situated on the way to Santiago de Compostela. It was constructed during the 11th century, it is an excellent example of Romanesque architecture too.
