Description

Located in Fromelennes, the grotte de Nichet is an invitation to an imaginary escapade to the center of the Earth. This natural site, carved out of limestone, has inspired popular mythology. During your visit, you'll plunge more than thirty meters into the "bowels of the Earth", and come across little inhabitants known as Nutons. You'll also discover numerous rooms (the Moonlight Room, the Lion Gallery, etc.) spread over three levels. In addition, your guide's explanations are accompanied by lighting and sound effects (visit in three languages). Visit in three languages. In operation since 1895, the cave was reopened to the public in 1987. The cave has retained its original character and is undoubtedly the most charming geological curiosity in the Ardennes.THE NUTONS: Characteristic of the Ardennes, the Nutons are very small, elderly-looking beings endowed with supernatural powers. They are nocturnal creatures, living in caves and underground tunnels dug into the hillsides. They are the source of wealth for some Ardennes farmers, but they are also highly susceptible. They don't hesitate to take revenge for wrongs done to them. Intelligent and hard-working, in turn blacksmiths, seamstresses and boilermakers, they provide many services.
