In the caves of La Balme one can look back on a long history: Various archaeological finds indicate that the caves were already inhabited by people at the end of the Bronze Age. Later, in the 9th and 14th centuries, two chapels were built at its entrance. During the 18th century, rumors spread that a famous French smuggler was hiding in the grotto. Visitors can explore the caves on their own along a paved path about a kilometer long. Guided tours are also available on request.
