Souvenir Medal Monnaie de Paris 2023 - Grotte du Grand Roc (24)

The Grand Roc Cave, located near Les Eyzies-de-Tayac in the Dordogne region of France, is a remarkable natural site discovered in 1924 and opened to the public in 1927. Carved into a cliffside, it is renowned for the exceptional richness and delicacy of its formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, aragonites, and eccentric crystals that create a magical, almost surreal landscape. This true crystal garden is classified as a Historic Monument and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Vézère Valley, a major center of prehistoric heritage.
