Nichet cave

What is nice with the caves is that you can just as easily visit them in a big "dodger" to refresh yourself as in rainy weather to shelter you. The Nichet cave is located in Fromelennes, very close to the town of Givet in the north of the Ardennes. During a guided tour, you will discover about ten rooms that make up the underground passages, such as the skeleton room, the lovers' room and the lion room.

This visit also takes you to meet the Nutons, little imaginary characters, who are endowed with marvelous powers, the fruit of an Ardennes legend.
