The Grotte de Clamouse

Grotte de Clamouse. It sounds like something the dog dragged in - or maybe something the dog did (the dogs in Aniane are busy doing it, I can tell you ...). However it couldn't be farther from the truth. It's an underground cave, or rather a series of underground caves, only a few minutes drive from here. And what caves they are. Full of the most stunning and interesting 'concretions' - stalacmites, stalactites, draperies, crystals, we oohed and aahed our way through the whole 1 hour tour. (And I kept getting left behind because I took so long taking pictures!) Some of the formations looked edible - like pulled toffee or sugar crystals, others looked Dr Seuss-like and others just looked like Fairyland. Here are some pictures
