Petrifying Fountains of Saint-Nectaire

The pictures don't do it justice, it is a truly unique form of art combing the use of mother nature, technique and patience.

Fascinating experience, so clever and so much history, very friendly staff..well worth a visit.

Interesting to see how sculptures were made through petrifying. Not to mention this has been done for over 200 years through 7 generations! Explanation was clear and available in booklet form in English, Dutch, German, etc. Be aware the first film is only in French and theres not much explanation about it in the multilingual booklet. Overal, learned a lot from this visit. 10/10 would recommend this unique place.

We did not expect much from the petrifying fountains of Saint-Nectaire and we have been stunned by the tour. The visit is relatively quick but you can spend time at your pace to admire the caves and the fountains. It was very informative and we learnt a lot about the techniques used to create the art work. It could be a pricey and expect to buy something at the end in the gift soft. Recommended for everyone

Very interesting site. However there are too many people in each tour and the explanations take too much time.

Amazing place fot.an amazing art/technology I never knee existed. Check the opening hours to make sure you have enough time to take the entire site.

A really interesting visit with a lot of information in English and the multi lingual guide answered all our questions. Fascinating and unique; worth every cent!

I need to say that we were welcomed with very inappropiate behaviors towards our children. The set up is appreciable and it is obvious that lots of hard work has been put into the building, though the exhibition is very much about art. The productions are amazing but I was more about the caves themselves and geological formation which are a very minor part of the visit, despite the advertisement.
