LA COCALIÈRE IN COURRY, FRANCE
Head to France for the opportunity to sleep inside one of the
country’s most impressive caves, La Cocalière. Hollowed
out of limestone rock more than 130 million years ago,
this spectacular underground sanctuary is just one cavern
in a vast 30-kilometre network. Thrill-seekers can stay the
night in the heart of the cave with their very own transparent
pyramid to call home. Instead of sleeping under the stars,
guests can enjoy 360-degree views of glittering stalactites
and precious calcite crystals. grotte-cocaliere.com
