La France des grottes et cavernes
La France possède un patrimoine souterrain parmi les plus riches d'Europe : les deux plus profonds gouffres du monde, plusieurs dizaines de milliers de grottes, gouffres et rivières souterraines, des grottes préhistoriques uniques, et quelques-unes des plus belles cavités de notre planète. Michel Siffre a rassemblé un ensemble de photographies exceptionnel, pour nous faire découvrir cette France souterraine aux multiples splendeurs.

Vestiges préhistoriques, concrétions rares, univers étonnant des animaux des cavernes, ce voyage dans les abîmes terrestres, révèle des richesses insoupçonnées venues du fond des âges.
