The Caves of La balme The caves of La Balme are amongst the finest of France. These caves combine the interesting aspects of all other caves: a lake with limpid waters fed by a subterranean river of mysterious origin; vast caverns and labyrinthine passages; many constantly forming pools completely unique in France, and numerous limestone concretions of every shape and color. The caves of La Balme have a long history stretching from the times of the Lascaux paintings to the legend of Mandrin.
